FreeRTOS for commercial use

[skulkarni]

Dear Nordic Team,

We want to use the FreeRTOS for commercial use, kindly request to answer the below questions.

1. Is AWS FreeRTOS open source & commercially distributed?

2. Can I use AWS FreeRTOS into my product through Nordic controller (nRF52832)?

3. Are there any license disclosure documents from Nordic on usage of AWS FreeRTOS ?

4. Is there any commercial obligations of using SDK15.3 which comes along with AWS FreeRTOS ?

5. Any legal document from Nordic on usage of AWS FreeRTOS ?

6. If there are any security patches in AWS FreeRTOS how I am going to get the same? OR where I need to follow up?

7. Can I share the source code of AWS FreeRTOS ?

Thanks,

Kulkarni
