The PiFinder™ uses the Cedar Detect and Cedar Solve libraries by smroid. Cedar Solve is licensed under Apache-2.0.
Cedar Detect is published under the Functional Source License (FSL-1.1-MIT), which permits broad non-commercial use but excludes commercial uses that compete with Cedar Detect. Because the PiFinder™ is also offered commercially, it bundles and distributes the Cedar Detect binaries under a separate license granted expressly by the copyright holder — not under the…
