Reference to End User License Agreements - EULA not found

[rahulmohang]

Hi,

There are references to End User License Agreements in some of the files copyrighted by Cypress Semiconductor Corporation. However, the EULA has not been found in the source package. Path to those files:

mcuboot/boot/cypress/MCUBootApp/os/os.h
main/boot/cypress/cy_flash_pal/cy_smif_psoc6.c
main/boot/cypress/cy_flash_pal/include/cy_smif_psoc6.h
main/boot/cypress/cy_flash_pal/flash_qspi/flash_qspi.c
main/boot/cypress/cy_flash_pal/flash_qspi/flash_qspi.h

Can you please let me know about the EULA that is being referred? The project that I represent uses the files, and since the project is an open source project, we are looking forward to avoid using source files licensed under licenses that are not open source.

@romanjoe Can you look into what is needed here? At a minimum, we should include the EULA. It would be better if you could get Infineon to release these files under the Apache license, to match with the rest of MCUboot.

Hello Roman @romanjoe,
Can you please let me know if you could find the EULA?

The alternative statement in the files, if EULA is not found is as follows:
"

• If no EULA applies, Cypress hereby grants you a personal, non-
• exclusive, non-transferable license to copy, modify, and compile the
• Software source code solely for use in connection with Cypress?s
• integrated circuit products. Any reproduction, modification, translation,
• compilation, or representation of this Software except as specified
• above is prohibited without the express written permission of Cypress.
  "

The problem with this statement is that there is not explicit grant of right for distribution.

@d3zd3z , is it possible to reopen the issue?

Thank you @nvlsianpu.

Hello, in some cases, the file has header of Apache license and the reference to the EULA. e.g., https://github.com/mcu-tools/mcuboot/blob/main/boot/cypress/MCUBootApp/keys.c.

@d3zd3z, @romanjoe, can you please let me know if this could be clarified in the near future?

[d3zd3z]

This really needs to be handled by the owners of the files. There isn't much I can do, since I don't have the ability to change the licenses on files by other authors.

[rahulmohang]

Thank you.
