Hi, 

There are two different licenses. You can use the 3-clause BSD license if you are starting a new project. Excerpt from the product page: 

"Since version 8.12.0 the nRF MDK has been available under two licenses:

• 3-clause BSD. This is the same license as used for previous MDK releases.
• 5-clause Nordic. This is intended for those who would like to align licenses introduced with nRF5 SDK v13.0 and MDK with their products."
