I'm no lawyer but doesn't this mean one can only use it non-commercially?

It will be licensed by us for more permissive use on RP2040 (like cyw43-driver)

This is great news 👍
Just to manage expectations, could you clarify the scope for the 1.5.0 target? BLE? Dual mode? Maybe support for some profiles? Device and Host?
Thanks!

Hello, is there any tutorial in C/C++ that demonstrates how to use Bluetooth with the RP Pico W? Has BTstack been released for commercial use? Thanks.
