Which license model fits best for an opensource github project based on STM32CubeIDE?

Good morning

It is time to publish my work on github as an opensource project which includes KiCAD design files as well as STM32CubeIDE project...

So which license model on github would fit best so it doesn't interfere with the included/generated source files from STM32CubeIDE?

I assume I have to include at least www.st.com/SLA0044 ?

thanks in advance

richard

It depends what parts of the code you use. The various licenses for each part can be found here:

BSD, MIT and Apache licenses are permissive open source licenses, which allow the code to be used almost everywhere.

GPL type licenses are copyleft licenses, which require all related code to also be open source and therefore cannot be used in closed source projects.
