Licensing
Information about the Business Source License 1.1 (BUSL-1.1) and commercial use.
Since January 20th 2025, SimpleBLE is now available under the Business Source License 1.1 (BUSL-1.1). Each version of SimpleBLE will convert to the GNU General Public License version 3 after four years of its initial release.
The project is free to use for non-commercial purposes, but requires a commercial license for commercial use. We also offer FREE commercial licenses for small projects and early-stage companies - reach out to discuss your use case!
Why purchase a commercial license?
- Build and deploy unlimited commercial applications
- Use across your entire development team
- Zero revenue sharing or royalty payments
- Choose features that match your needs and budget
- Priority technical support included
- Clear terms for integrating into MIT-licensed projects
