Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Using USRP/GNURADIO Commercially

[Michael Dickens]

As others have already said, but just to emphasize the point yet  
again, you really need to talk with a lawyer / firm qualified to  
understand your business' (potential or real) issues.  IANAL and TINLA!

To get more specific: Are you planning on using the USRP for wireless  
(RF) applications?  That's a whole other issue above and beyond making  
sure you abide by the software licenses (which Eric & others have  
covered well).  Using a USRP as a "test, measurement, and  
evaluation" (TME) device for RF transmissions is in general "not  
illegal" so long as FCC conditions are met (e.g. Part 15 and other  
Parts).

BUT: The issues become more complicated for commercial (non-TME, end- 
user) products.  That's where consulting a knowledgeable lawyer / firm  
would be your wisest course of action.

Again, IANAL, TINLA ... but ... if you want to discuss further, I am  
happy to do so !off list! . - MLD
