LabVIEW Community Edition license question

[zellcc]

With LabVIEW community edition, is it ok to host/share a project on GitHub authored with the Community Edition; and furthermore, is it ok to host/share video tutorials or HOWTOs (using the Community Edition) for free on something like YouTube?  Target audience would be those learning LabVIEW or perhaps for use in non-degree producing schools (like a K-12).  I know the license agreement says the K-12 use is ok with Community Edition, but didn't know about the online thing (e.g. YouTube)

You own your source code and any executables made when using the Community Edition and can distribute as you see fit.

But you CANNOT charge for any source code or executables made with the Community Edition.

That is actually one of the main reasons for the Community Edition.  As already stated, as long as you are not (directly) making profit from whatever you put out, you are fine.  I remember some debate on if you get ad revenue from YouTube when using Community Edition.  I do not remember what was concluded.  Regardless, it doesn't sound like you are doing that.

I think the consensus was that if you earn money with your you-tube channel it would be illegal to use the Community Edition for creating content for it. Same as when you write an application for someone else and get paid for that.

As long as you do it for the fun of it and don’t earn a (significant) amount directly or indirectly through that, use of the Community Edition is generally fine.
