Vendor ID в USB Опции

[mungo]

В протоколе USB при енумерации заложен код вендора. Вот у меня и возник вопрос - ктокакие коды использует?
Нужно ли платить бабло usb.org (2000-4000$) за свой код, или можно без вопросов использовать чужой. Не будет ли тут каких косяков, типа, авторские права и т.п.?

Наткнулся на занятный вариант... И за один PID заплатил, ибо на 10 евро я точно поржал прочитав их страничку.

When MCS purchased the VID, there was NO INFORMATION about the usage of the VID-PID.
USB-IF was only focused to get a payment. There were no rules or conditions or a contract.

That changed in June 2009 when USB-ORG wrote an email that it was not permitted to sell VID or PID.
MCS pointed out that in The Netherlands you can not enforce or change rules AFTER a product/service is sold.
So we continued as usual.
In reaction USB-ORG offered our money back but that would mean existing customers would not have a valid PID anymore.
So we got some more letters and finally USB-ORG wrote a letter that they revoked our VID.

Of course our VID can not be re-used by USB-ORG. This means that our VID will still be unique.

If you want to produce a USB device that need to be tested/verified by USB-ORG you need your own VID.
If you only need a real unique VID & PID combination, you can still use ours.
So what we offer is a unique VID & PID combination.
