- Commercial use
- Yes
Each package has its own licence file: flir_camera_description BSD-3-Clause; flir_camera_msgs, spinnaker_camera_driver and spinnaker_synchronized_camera_driver Apache-2.0.
One part it needs is closed
- Needs Teledyne FLIR Spinnaker SDK: The driver uses FLIR's Spinnaker SDK libraries: the package brings its own set, or the build downloads the SDK (spinnaker_camera_driver/doc/index.rst); the SDK's source is not in the repository and its terms were not read.
