Hello,

According to the documentation, the FatFs-Filesystem can be used under a BSD-style license. How About the exFAT licence fee. Has this fee already been paid with the purchase of the STM32?
Best answer by Peter BENSCH

The FatFS is free to use under its own BSD-like licence.

The file system exFAT, on the other hand, is a Microsoft IP, the purchase of an STM32 does not include a licence or related fees, all licensing issues must be clarified with Microsoft.

Regards
/Peter
