Hello everybody,<br>
<br>
My name name is John and I am looking for a open source for
EtherCat.<br>
Finally, I have found this site, EtherLab, where I have dowloaded a
EtherCat opensource code to use with Linux.<br>
<br>
I have compiled and it works fine, only a few steps, load ec_master
and ec_8139too and it detected my Ethercat coupler. It clear that
ec_master use GPL license and to static link there is a LGLP license
to do it.<br>
<br>
But I have some a doubt about this opensource code:<br>
<br>
1.- This EtherCat master is for testing purpose, or it is possible
to use it for comercial purpose?<br>
<br>
"The license above concerns the source code only. Using the EtherCAT
technology and brand is only permitted in compliance with the
industrial
property and similar rights of <a href="http://beckhoff.com">Beckhoff
Automation
GmbH</a>."<br>
<br>
What is mean? Can I use it or I need to require a permission to us
it ?<br>
<br>
Best regards.<br>
