PROCESSOR-SDK-AM62X: Debian SDK commercial license

Part Number: PROCESSOR-SDK-AM62X

May I have a question about commercial license of Debian SDK for AM62x?

I think If I use Yocto-SDK, I could develop for commercial in not need licence fee.

And I found this in Debian SDK manual,

"this allows user to try the Image for next 90 days without building on their owned."

https://software-dl.ti.com/processor-sdk-linux/esd/AM62X/09_00_00_Debian/exports/docs/debian/Overview.html

Is this mean we could use the image that had build for try in 90 days?

How was Debian image that my customer build with the manual "3.Building Debian Images"?

Could we use for commercial with not need licence fee not only in 90 day?

Thanks,

Let me double-check with the team where this comes from and get back to you, I'm a bit surprised by this.

When I check the Debian Website it says this...

https://www.debian.org/intro/why_debian

Debian is made of free and open source software and will always be 100% free. Free for anyone to use, modify, and distribute. This is our main promise to our users. It's also free of cost.

Hi GR,

discussing with the team, the 90-day limitation comes from the limit Github allows storing those (large) images; there isn't really a licensing limitation in regards to that 90-day limit. And this only applies to the Github-based workflow. The team took the action to update the docs to better clarify this.

Hi Andreas,

Thanks for your information.

I understand the lisensing is not limited.

The 90-day limit means if I build Debian image using this,
https://github.com/TexasInstruments/ti-bdebstrap

Could we build compeatly same image in 90-days?

Will you update github in each 90-days?

Best regards,
