Subject: Re: What to do about USB VID and PID? ( #47)

That doesn’t stop Damien using an ST sublicense or USB-IF purchased VID for his production.įrom: Paul Sokolovsky [ Saturday, 4 January 2014 3:17 AM I favour obtaining an Openmko VID/PID set to include in the open source code. I think when Atmel and Microchip sublicense VIDs and PIDs they have to register the sublicense with USB-IF and wait for approval. Although they may sublicense to Damien for his production I doubt they would condone other parties using the open source files to manufacture clones or derivatives. However it is not a published policy like Microchip, Atmel and FTDI.

It appears that ST may sub license their VID.
