Hi,
I’m a Software developer and I wish to design some application work with AR3 and make money by bundle AR3 with the application.
As far as I know AR3 design is open source but restricted. so my question is until what extend as a software developer can sell our software together with AR3. is it possible my client buy AR3 from here then software from myself?
thanks,
Hello,
I have a large number of people inquiring about using the Annin Robotics design for automation and reselling. The intention of the project was a user build DIY platform that is completely free for primarily educational purposes but also for the hobby community and for individuals automating their own businesses. The only requirement is that I have asked people not build the robot or manufacture robot parts strictly to resell for profiteering off the project. I maintain that Annin Robotics designs and software remain free. However If you would like to use the Annin Robotics design within the scope of automating a process and selling that process, and the robot supports that that automated process I would not want to inhibit anyone's efforts or development, If that is the case I ask a $200 license fee per robot that is being used as part of a system that is being sold for profit. If the aluminum and hardware components are purchased through my website I would waive the $200 fee. Please let me know if this answers your questions.
Thank you,
Chris
To further clarify, you mean:
1. we are allowed to sell customised automation services/process bundle with AR3. With $200.00/license (except we purchase hardware kits) 2. we are not allow to sell AR3 robot purely without additional engineering services to help people automate their process
If above is the case, I think will be very helpful to people. In fact, I will suggest in future create a market place to sell more compatible/tested software/hardware component as additional income to you.
Thanks, KS Tan
