Re: TrustedFirmware.org - Check for MbedTLS License/Royality fee for commercial usage

by Carina Tsai

To whom it may concern, Our engineering team is using the Mbed TLS library in our wifi range extenders sold on markets and adhere to the licensing terms outlined in the sourcecode and docs. Thanks to Shaun’s guideline, it would be no royalty if we adhere to the licensing terms. Is there any other cost required for us to use the Mbed TLS library in our wifi range extenders, adhering to the licensing terms outlined in the sourcecode and docs? Thank you Carina From: Shaun Longhorn <shaun.longhorn(a)linaro.org<mailto:shaun.longhorn@linaro.org>> Sent: Tuesday, September 30, 2025 7:08 PM To: Ken Chen <Ken.Chen(a)netgear.com<mailto:Ken.Chen@netgear.com>> Cc: enquiries(a)trustedfirmware.org<mailto:enquiries@trustedfirmware.org> Subject: Re: TrustedFirmware.org - Check for MbedTLS License/Royality fee for commercial usage External Email.
