Applies to The library (isotp.h, inc/, src/), tests, examples, tools and this documentation

The library keeps the license of the project it was forked from. The documentation tooling shared by the SystemFromScratch® protocol libraries is published under the same license in this repository.

What the license allows

In short — the full text below is authoritative:

  • Use the library in any project, open source or proprietary, commercial or not.
  • Modify it, merge it into other software, distribute and sublicense it, in source or binary form, alone or as part of a product, and sell copies.

What it requires

  • Include the copyright notices and the permission notice in all copies or substantial portions of the software.

Firmware that links the library in binary form meets this by making the license text and the copyright notices available, for example in its documentation or "about" screen.

What it does not give

  • No warranty: the software is provided "as is".
  • No liability of the authors for any claim or damage.
  • No trademark rights: the license does not let you use the names of the authors or of SystemFromScratch® to endorse your product.

Trademarks

SystemFromScratch® is a registered trademark; the MIT License grants no rights to use the name or logo, and they may not be used to endorse or promote products derived from ISOTP-C without prior written permission. ISO 15765-2 is a standard of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO); the name is used in this documentation only to identify the protocol that ISOTP-C implements. ISOTP-C is an independent implementation and is not affiliated with or endorsed by ISO.
