nrf5x SDK legal/license question: how to publish new modifications

[daten]

Hello,

for the project I'm currently involved I'm developing additional components and changing/fixing parts/issues in the nrf5x SDK.

My client allows me to opensource / share most of those. However I'm unsure about (legal) limitations from nordic's side.

First naive idea was to just use the latest SDK version as base, committing on top of it and pushing it to GitHub. Would that even be legal? Would that be re-distribution? I'm especially concerned about the binary softdevice files being part of the SDK.

Is there a recommended way of doing so? Is there maybe even a public git repository I'm able to fork from?

Thanks

Good that you asked and I see no problem in using and re-distributing in the way you mentioned. Softdevice is a binary so you can use and re-distribute binaries as you wish as long as you do not violate the 5-Clause

Please read the license 5-Clause that we use for nRF5 SDK and softdevice binaries.
