May I use any of Microchip’s advanced libraries free of charge for the purpose of developing a contest entry?
Yes, most of Microchip’s advanced libraries (like software modems, speech compression, noise suppression, etc.) may be downloaded and used for free for the purpose of developing a contest entry (or product development). The Encryption libraries are the only exception since they must be physically shipped via CD to satisfy Microchip’s interpretation of U.S. government regulations. The Security libraries are available for the cost of media and handling from www.microchipdirect.com.
