Dear feilipu, In the LICENSE file for the Arduino_FreeRTOS_library, the Copyright notice is as follows: Arduino_FreeRTOS_Library/LICENSE Line 2 in 329328e I just wanted to mention it, in case it is a copy/paste mistake. |

Thanks for asking. Yes. Generally, the copywrite holder is Amazon, since they purchased the rights from FreeRTOS and re-released the code under MIT licence. The base code is kept, to as great an extent as practical, identical to the code in the main FreeRTOS Kernel repository, but redacted into just the files relevant here. Also, most of my own work here has been accepted into the mainline FreeRTOS code as the ATmegaxxx port, which also implies providing the copyright to Amazon (under MIT terms). There are a few files that retain copyright by me, and they're noted as such in the header of the file. |
