Selling digisparks

[sleepykid]

Hi digistump community. This is my first post
I have recently being experimenting with a 'panic alarm'. This would be a button connected to a digispark. When you press the button it could do multiple things. It could replace all of the tabs in google chrome with pre-set tabs. It could also lock and mute the computer.

I would like to sell these on to my friends and possibly on to ebay. If I did so it would obviously be open-sourced. It would be open sourced because I like things to be open source and I am using the digiKeyboard library.

While I was digging around in the license for the digikeyboard I realised that it was a non commercial license, at least I think it is. I realize that the VUSB liscense means that I would not be able to sell it on, but I was wondering that because I am buying the digispark from digistump, which has payed the license in order to sell the product to us.

I was also wondering if I was allowed to sell on digisparks.

So basically, can I sell on a digispark with the intention of the user to use the digikeyboard library. I am not sure about this and would like to ask the community.

The firmware loaded on the Digispark complies with all licenses necessary to be sold pre-installed, and can therefore be resold, distributed, etc.

The libraries included in the software, such as the DigiKeyboard library are subject to the licenses and your interpretation of those licenses - Digistump provides the library as free open source libraries, we do not pay so that people can use them commercially or make any effort to ensure they can be used commercially - if anyone uses them commercially that is up to them to determine.

Things like Karma Controller, which has a firmware using DigiKeyboard, provides the firmware as free open source software which the user can install on the Digispark from a source or compiled version - it is my understanding that therefore honors the licenses - but I am not a lawyer nor responsible for the legality of any firmware other than what is installed on the Digispark when it ships.

I've tried to make that as not legal speak as I can - in summary my I'd recommend you either 1) distribute your firmware separately as FOSS and make a kit with the Digispark. We can help you make a one click installer for the end user to put firmware on the Digispark when they get it or 2) obtain any permissions or licenses you need to distribute it on the device

Anything Digistump has written is FOSS (commercial or not) unless restricted by a legacy license from the code base - such as the V-USB license.
