License file for example/ble_peripheral 'plugins'

[brianreinhold]

I have two projects each for the nRF51 and nRF52 SDKs. To use them one simply drops them into the correct SDK/examples/ble_peripheral directory. One supports the ongoing GHS BT SIG profile and the other is an engineering prototype which is similar to the GHS but significantly simpler - the Bluetooth is just an opaque transporter of application packets. So it could equally well be done on USB.

IN any case, these projects are publicly available on GitHub. The only code that is there are the 'plugins'. A user has to download the SDK in order to build/use them. The 'main.c' file has the original license inherited from the main.c files of all these projects. Is this sufficient or should I add an additional license file?

Thanks

Hi.

I'm not quite sure. I'll investigate and get back to you on this, so that I don't give you any wrong information.

This should be sufficient.

Okay, just wanted to make sure I was legally okay. The software on Github https://github.com/brianreinhold/NordicPHDs IS useless without the SDK/SoftDevice and that must be downloaded from Nordic Semi (too big to put up there, besides it is good for more than one version of the SDK since it depends mainly on SoftDevice for BTLE and flash.
