Everything you find on this website is public domain. This means there is no copyright. So feel free to use it for whatever you want.
Exception to this is anything I didn't create myself, since it's not mine to give away. This should be obvious, such as embedded music or pictures of other peoples projects. Where possible a link to the original source is included. Also some of the software and firmware is based on other peoples work which might already be licensed. Obviously the original license still applies to their work.
There are so many licensing possibilities, ranging from copyleft to copyright, from GPL to BSD to Apache to Creative Commons. Some licenses allow commercial use, while some others explicitly forbid this, some allow you to tinker with the contents while others expect something in return. All these license models co-exist, but are incompatible with each other. To be honest, I'm rather fed up with this. While it could be in the best interest of the individual to lock things down, the best for the majority is to share knowledge. So sharing is what I have decided to do. I sincerely hope the contents of this website are of some use to you, either as a good read or as inspiration for a project of your own. I have no problem with commercial use of anything I made. Feel free to download, modify and redistribute it.
Where possible I use open source hardware myself. All hardware I make is, in its turn, released as open source hardware. This means it comes with schematic diagram, PCB design files, firmware, software, mechanical design files and other design documentation. You are fee to use this as basis for your own project.
