grlib source code

Does the license for the grlib graphics library permit modifying the grlib source code to add custom features?

If I modify the source code, am I required to publish my changes?

    Hello Ken,

    Yes, you can add custom code and use it. However when publishing the same the EULA must have TI as the owner of the code (see Readme.txt in grlib)

     Not really, it is "public available source" code so you can customize and it gain "proprietary level source" part and doesn't require be published as for GNU code. As from licence you are not authorized to use them on other than TI silicon.

     You cannot sell as your own code, to be sold you must sign an agreement with TI, if not sold you must mention source and all proprietary part remain at your location only for maintenance.

     If you republish you lose right of proprietary but you must add original licence and possibly list of changes to support community. (better to ask TI)

     BTW you are not guaranteed have maintenance on your part and future edition if not well prepared require complete remake of your work.

     All I modified on the past got unusable from Stellaris-TIVA transition annd this can plague your code too.
