License Limitations (by Speedy)
Hi,

are there any license limitations for the use of ldmicro in a commercial project?

see manual.txt and COPYING.txt of LDmicro (by Ihor Nehrutsa)
Your commercial project must be under
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 3 or higher.

This is a fragment of the GNU GPL:
....
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive
or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they
know their rights.
....

Thus, you must provide the your source code.

Like he said, GPLv3.

Note that this applies to the C++ code of LDmicro itself. You can do whatever you want with ladder programs that you write using LDmicro. This is the same situation as for other GPL-licensed compilers (e.g., gcc).
