Hello,

We own an EVAL-CN0579-ARDZ and are developing a condition-monitoring instrument built around the AD7768-4 and the other ADI parts of the CN0579 BOM (LT3092, ADA4945-1, AD5696R, ADR4540, etc.).

We downloaded the CN0579 design support package (schematic, BOM, Gerber and Allegro files). The package does not include a license file, and the schematic frame carries the standard "This drawing is the property of Analog Devices" stamp.

Our question: may we use the CN0579 design files (schematic and/or layout) as the basis for our own PCB in a commercial product, given that the product uses the AD7768-4 and the other ADI components of the reference design? Is there a written license or terms page that covers commercial use of Circuits from the Lab design packages?

Thank you.
