-License Guidelines
-##################
-
-The Zephyr Kernel is licensed under a BSD 3-clause license. This is a
-permissive license that allows our customers to write kernel-level code
-without having to open source their code. All code linked in a Zephyr Kernel
-binary image must be permissively licensed. The source tree includes some GPL
--licensed build tools, but those are not linked to the final binary image,
-and thus the image itself is not GPL-tainted.
-
-Customers are able to add GPL code to their kernel. Therefore, all
-permissively licensed code in the project must be GPL-compatible.
-
-.. caution::
-
-   Some permissive licenses are not GPL-compatible).

-It is allowed to look at other project's documentation, code concepts,
-comments, and git commits while implementing new code. You may contribute
-code to unrelated GPL projects while working on permissively licensed code.
