Hello everybody,
I read from following webpage that Keil IDE is free for STM32 Cortex-M0/M0+ development, I think it's related to an agreement between STM and Keil developer.
My question is: Does this "free" license cover also commercial product development based on Cortex-M0/M0+ (like STM32G0 ) ?
Thanks

As far as I can read from the arm KEIL home page, MDKARM can also be used free of charge for commercial applications for users of Cortex-M0/M0+ derivatives of STM32, but limited to a code size of 256 KB. You'll also find the current Product Serial Number (PSN) at the URL you mentioned before. A similar topic regarding the Product Serial Number / License Key was discussed here.
If in doubt, it is best to ask Keil for final confirmation of this, which you are welcome to report back here.
Hope that helps?
Regards

You really need to ask Keil (ie, ARM) that - it's their product, and their licence terms.

But the Keil Home page does say:
