Anybody who can answer for Intel UPnP stack license policy?

[sisimma]

Hi. all,

I emailed isn.support@intel.com about license policy for use of Intel UPnP stack generated by Intel Device Builder.

But I got response from Intel support teamthat he or she asked me to go to this forumand seethe question.

I'm confused if she or he just kicked me off by regarding my question about license as general question about Intel UPnP tool just likeIntel product.

Is there anybody who is able to figureout what is policy of Intel UPnP stack license?

Sincerely yours.

Sean Yoon.

Dear Madam/Sir:

I'm working for CDI.

We're considering using UPnP technology on Windows mobile device for our

application.

Is it possible for us to use Intel UPnP stack generated by Intel Device

Builder in our application on Windows mobile device?

(If yes) Are there any limitations or conditions to use the Intel UPnP

stack such as license fee or running charge for commercial applications?

Please let us know if any information needed to use the Intel UPnP stack

for commercial appication ASAP...

Thank you.

Sean Sukhwan Yoon.

Wow. Licensing was a big question for a long time. The tools are now available under a fully open source Apache 2.0 license under the new name "Developer Tools for UPnP Technologies". All of the source code is there for everything including the code generator itself. You should be good to go, even for commertial use.

You don't have too, but if you make improvements, feedback is appreciated.

Thanks,
Ylian
