License

Core MCU Framework is free for non-commerical use.

This means, if you are a hobbyist or just want to play around with Core MCU Framework, you may do so.

However, if you are selling a product, making money from something using it – we need to talk. I think it is only fair to get a cut, so I can support my hobbies and create more cool stuff. Don’t you think so?
