T-License

As noted above, not all the products mention the use of T-Kernel or μT-Kernel.

Here are some examples of products or companies whose online manual refers to T-License because they either use T-Kernel or μT-Kernel.

There are other products that use T-Kernel or μT-Kernel under T-License. Some of them are listed at the TRON Forum web page (in Japanese). {{Cite web |last=TRON Forum |title=TRON PROJECT 30th Anniversary: Produtcs that use TRON RTOS family (in Japanese) |url=https://30th.tron.org/products.html |access-date=2024-10-12 |website=30th.tron.org}}

T-License was originally proposed by T-Engine Forum,{{cite web |title=T-Engine {{pipe}} Renesas Electronics |url=http://www.renesas.com/_full_product_info_/products/tools/introductory_evaluation_tools/t_engine_solution_engine/t_engine_solution_engine_mid_level_landing.jsp |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111002041310/http://www.renesas.com/_full_product_info_/products/tools/introductory_evaluation_tools/t_engine_solution_engine/t_engine_solution_engine_mid_level_landing.jsp |archive-date=2 October 2011 |access-date=14 March 2022 |website=www.renesas.com}}{{Cite web |title=The T-Engine: Tomorrow Happening Today |url=http://www.itmagz.com/index.php/technology-mainmenu/news-mainmenu-41/273-the-t-engine-tomorrow-happening-today.html?showall=1 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120326140740/http://www.itmagz.com/index.php/technology-mainmenu/news-mainmenu-41/273-the-t-engine-tomorrow-happening-today.html?showall=1 |archive-date=2012-03-26 |access-date=2011-07-04 |website=itmagz.com}} which was merged into the current TRON Forum.

There is an online PDF Japanese article that explains the motivation behind T-License that was born with T-Engine, a hardware platform for developing IoT applications. {{Cite web |last=Sakamura |first=Ken |date=2004-08-01 |title=ITRON から T-Engine へ - T-Engine の思想 (From ITRON to T-Engine - The Philosophy of T-Engine) |url=https://www.cqpub.co.jp/interface/sample/200408/if0408_chap1.pdf |access-date=2024-10-12 |website=CQ 出版 （CQ Publishing Co., Ltd)}}

According to the original version of T-License, changing or modifying the T-Kernel source code could only be done by certain parties like A-members of T-Engine Forum and these parties must notify and register their changes with T-Engine Forum.http://tronweb.super-nova.co.jp/gpl-vs-t-license.html GPL vs T-License

But this restriction has been mostly lifted since the 2.0 version, which has been in force since May, 2011.[https://www.tron.org/download/index.php?route=information/information&information_id=57&language=en T-License 2.0 FAQ]
