Dear Dr. David Kirkby, Hello, our products have been commercialized and we attach great importance to compliance.
We have sorted out all licenses that may be involved in NanoVNA and SAA2.
NanoVNA software£ºGPL3£¬
NanoVNA hardware£ºPrivate, need to be approved by ttrftech
SAA2 software£ºGPL3£¬
NanoVNA hardware£ºLGPL v2.1
But I received Gabriel Tenma White¡¯s private mail stated that SAA2 contains non-open source content. We are carefully checking the relevant content. If there is any violation, we will immediately correct it.

If we have other possible non-compliance, please help us to correct it, thank you!

There is no innovation, just a new shell.
Since this group has been dissatisfied with the SMA connector and the
2.8-inch display, we installed the N-type RF connector and the 4-inch LCD
on the original SAA2 and fixed it with a metal shell.
Hugen,
What license is the software released under? The original NanoVNA was the
General Public License (GPL), but I see the link you gave says LGPL, which
is a *completely* different license. The L means ¡°lesser¡±, so it seems
that
you have taken something away that you should not have done. Ot maybe it is
just a mistake, and there¡¯s an extra L by mistake.
The LGPL allows one to release binaries without the source code, but once
software is released under the GPL, then all the source code should be
available, so GPL code can not later be converted into LGPL code.
Dave
