ChibiOS Free Embedded RTOS

Currently the HAL is not completely standalone in that it has implicit dependencies on external (to the HAL) components which are licensed GPL.

For example, the HAL-STM32F407-DISCOVERY demo brings in files on os/common/ports (startup assembly, linker scripts, vector table) which are licensed GPL.

Are there any plans to move these components into the HAL?

HAL does not have dependencies on them, you can use any startup file, anyway, I think I will move startup files to Apache license.

Hi,

All startup files are now licensed under Apache 2.0 in trunk and branches 3.0.x and 16.1.x.
