Legality.

Hello, Community.

 

   I am new designer and need some help.  I need to know what needs to be done to get legal rights

to use a Raspberry Pi for my project.  I am hoping that this would have anever impact on the

technological world, but I don't want to get snagged in any legal issues.  I welcome any and all

advice on what to do.  Thank you for your assistance.

    I'm sure you can embed a Raspberry Pi in your product - just be mindful of any open source software licencing requirements.

    Hi, Douglas.

     

    What I was planning to do with the Raspberry Pi was to embed it in a design that I am working on.  As for cloning, I am a noob when it comes to this.  I do concider myself Tech Saavy, but I am not a genius, like most people here.

    I also want to thank you for your valuable input.  I appreciate any and all help you have given and will give to me.

    You are definitely allowed to embed them in your design - that is one of their primary purposes.

    Hi, Douglas.

     

    That's great news.  Now, what do I do about programming the Pi?  Is there any special program that I would need?

    Or, would I be able to utilize my own program?

     

    I appreciate all the help that you have given to me.  Perhaps, I could learn a thing, or two from you.
