Wow - serious necro-thread! Sorry for activating the Way-back machine, but I didn’t see another thread on this topic.
My situation is similar to the OPs, but I want to tear it down further. Instead of installing complete OpenLog units in my product, I want to take just the processor and add it to a board that will provide the card socket, crystal, etc, since 1) there will be a 3.3v power-supply (a sub-system of a fairly robust 12v automotive PS) already in place for the HC05 BT module, and 2) I want to be able to keep the components a little closer to the mainboard (clearance might be an issue, depending on which model logger etc is being considered. Given my current skill set at programming SMD chips, I will likely be purchasing OpenLog assemblies and using a hot-air nozzle and ChipQuik rework solder to remove the (programmed) processor, and add it to my device. If this takes off as I hope, I may be pestering you folks for (small) lots of bare programmed chips! 8)
This is going to be a commercial product, and I will very likely have no particular interest in releasing the schematic. I am not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV, and I’m more than a little confused by the license. What sort of grief am I setting myself up for with this mad scheme? Is the simple comment in the manual of “Based on the SparkFun OpenLog” sufficient? A colleague expressed concern that if the OpenLog design / schematic was incorporated into mine, that under the “ShareAlike” term of the CC-3.0 licence my entire mainboard might be subject to the license, and subject to a demand that the schematic be made public - not something I find particularly amusing.
My apologies for the Wall o’ Text for a first post; I hope someone can shed some light on this.
cheers,
Don
