Hi!

CMSIS code is license under apache 2.
Should this template project change to apache 2 as well?

Thanks. Keep the excellent work.

Thanks for the heads up.
Since this project uses multiple external "libraries", I'm not sure if I should choose one licence that covers everything or do something like ST does on their HAL drivers: https://github.com/STMicroelectronics/STM32CubeF4/blob/master/LICENSE.md

I think the ST approach would be an improvement.
Their drivers are permissive licenses and not GLP'd.

I'm completely fine with a permissive license.
If you have an idea what a license file should look like for this project I would appreciate a pull request.
Otherwise I'll take a better look in the future.
