uC/OS Licensing

The uC/ components are now offered under a permissive, open-source Apache 2.0 license model.
Under this new model, developers seeking to use the components may download and use the software at no cost.
This change is a substantial one and was made after careful consideration of the current environment for soft  development.
By adopting permissive license terms for uC/ components, this now brings the software's rich set of features and benefits within reach of the widest user base possible and affords the embedded community a role in its future evolution.
A key objective of migrating to the Apache 2.0 license was to minimize the implications for developers who had previously purchased a license to use the uC/ software. For most licensees, there shouldn't be any immediate action required.
