&lt;p&gt;You are free to modify any source code in the SDK as mentioned in the license text &lt;a href="http://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF51_SDK/nRF51_SDK_v9.x.x/doc/9.0.0/license.txt"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(b) to modify any source code
contained in the SDK solely as
necessary to implement products
developed by Licensee that incorporate
an nRF IC (&amp;quot;Licensee Product&amp;quot;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One note is with the Bluetooth profile libraries, if you modify the files, you would need to re-qualify the profile on your own. You will find this text in those libraries:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;/* Attention!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;To maintain compliance with Nordic Semiconductor ASA’s Bluetooth profile&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;qualification listings, this section of source code must not be
modified.
*/&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
