Re: [iot-pmc] [CQ 10695] Arduino software Version: 1.0.6 and above
|
From the "Guidelines for the Review of Third Party Dependencies"
'A prerequisite may be classified as "exempt" by the EMO if the software
is pervasive in nature, expected to be already on the user's machine,
and/or an IP review would be either impossible, impractical or inadvisable'
I imagine that an IP review for Arduino software might be considered
impractical. The repository is here:
https://github.com/arduino/Arduino. There are almost 6,000 commits.
The code licenses include GPL. We don't distribute binaries, but source
code which is packaged into an Arduino IDE importable form. The
binaries are built by the user with the IDE.
By far the majority of the code for the embedded client is shared
between the multiple environments, of which the Arduino is one. A small
amount (maybe 5%) is Arduino specific. So from one point of view, the
Arduino environment could be a works-with dependency, where as in a) ii)
"The Eclipse software is designed to work with multiple third party
software choices that provide similar functionality - the choice of
which is up to the user. At least one of those must be a prerequisite..."
We provide interface layers for Linux, mbed and Arduino, and others in
the future. So, Linux (glibc and libstdc++) could be considered a
prerequisite, and Arduino, ARM mbed etc, works-with dependencies.
