Boilerplate
Free to use, unedited or trimmed, in any article about the Foundation.
Embedded Operating Systems Research Foundation (EmbeddedOS Foundation) is a 501(c)(3) Public Charity nonprofit registered in the United States. To advance open-source embedded systems research, education and technology for the public benefit — so that every embedded device, from a $2 microcontroller to an aircraft flight computer, can run software that anyone is free to read, audit, learn from and build on. Its software is released under the MIT License. More at https://www.embeddedos.org.
Logos and colours
The marks, the palette, the typefaces and the rules for using them are on the brand assets page. Most editorial use needs no permission.
What we will not say
The Foundation does not have adoption numbers, revenue figures or named production users to give you, because it does not yet have them. If a claim of that kind appears in a story about EmbeddedOS, it did not come from here. What can be substantiated is on transparency and in the public repositories.
