As far as possible, I have used development products that are free. Not all of these are copyright-free.
All my code is copyright to Amazon Systems, but if you keep my copyright statements in the code, you may use it freely to produce your own products.
One or two sections of code are copyrighted to 3rd parties, but, again, if you keep their copyright statements in the code, you may use it freely to produce your own products.
