Thanks for your response, Manuel. https://www.ettus.com/sdr-software/detail/licenses should've been the first place to look at, as it provides all the details. If I had read it first, I wouldn't have needed to ask. A link from README.md would be nice.
While you're at it, apart from adding LICENSE(.md) to the repository, you might also want to add CONTRIBUTING(.md). GitHub handles this one specially, too: https://github.com/blog/1184-contributing-guidelines Best regards, Michał 2017-11-11 17:57 GMT+01:00 Manuel Uhm <manuel....@ettus.com>: > Thanks, Michal.
