Licenses

In this article, you will find useful information about the CHESTER SDK license.

caution

The following text is modified content from the nRF Connect SDK and fully applies to the CHESTER SDK.

Licenses are located close to the source files. You can find a LICENSE file containing the license details at the top of every CHESTER SDK repository. Each file included in the repositories also has an SPDX identifier that mentions this license.

If a folder or set of files is open source and included in the nRF Connect SDK under its own license (for example, any of the Apache or MIT licenses), it will have either its own LICENSE file included in the folder or the license information embedded inside the source files themselves.

You can use the West utility ncs-sbom (provided by the nRF Connect SDK) to generate a license report. It allows you to generate a report for the CHESTER SDK, built application, or specific files. The tool is highly configurable. It uses several detection methods, such as:

  • Search based on SPDX tags.

  • Search license information in files.

  • The Scancode-Toolkit.

Depending on your configuration, the report is generated in HTML or SPDX, or in both formats. See the Software Bill of Materials documentation for more information.
