Hello Libusb Team, Do you provide a commercial (non-GPL) license for the libusb0.sys windows driver? I would like to use my own installer for the driver and distribute it with my application without being forced to disclose my app code. Unfortunately, I can't use the newest version of the libusbk due to a specific USB device I am connected to. Best regards, Andrii Ostapchuk |

By integrating libusb-win32 device driver into your driver installer, you should not be required to change your driver installer license to be GPL, as long as you do not change the driver source code. You can just mention that your device driver is using libusb-win32 device driver and provide the web link to libusb-win32 github. Reference: similar question. https://github.com/pbatard/libwdi/issues/279 BTW, I am not suggesting you use libwdi though as it is licensed under LGPL. Rather you can use other installers like Inno Setup. -- Xiaofan |

Dear libusb team, Let me clarify – I am using unmodified libusb0.sys driver, however I do sign the driver package with my own cert, using my own installer with a custom .inf. I would appreciate if you could confirm that this does not force me to disclose my app source code, provided of course that I clearly state the usage of libusb-win32 with the link to its repository сб, 17 лют. 2024 р. о 16:35 Xiaofan Chen <xia...@gm...> пише: > On Thu, Feb 8, 2024 at 1:30 AM Андрій Остапчук > <ost...@gm...> wrote: > > > > Hello Libusb Team, > > Do you provide a commercial (non-GPL) license for the libusb0.sys > windows driver? > > I would like to use my own installer for the driver and distribute it > with my application without > > being forced to disclose my app code.
