Memos From the Cube

Previously I’ve toyed with the idea of trying to earn some money for myself (poor University student, and all that) with my MyUSB library, by selling commercial licenses. However, I’ve decided - in part due to Eric at Atmel/AVRFreaks - to release it under the LGPL instead. This new license allows for proprietary applications to be developed using the open-source library, without the public release of said application. It does however, like the normal GPL license, require that any enhancements to the MyUSB library itself be made public free of charge.

I’m hoping this move will convince more people to get on board with MyUSB. A very generous licence like the LGPL makes the project more attractive to both commercial and hobbyist users alike.
