Excelfore gave a presentation on the eSync Alliance during the Open AD Kit WG meeting on March 24th, and some initial questions were answered at that time.

This discussion has been set up to allow for additional questions to be put to the Excelfore team.

Would it be possible to clarify exactly what is meant by "Includes license for use in development and demonstration" on slide 9 please?

For example, if an AWF member was working with a bus manufacturer who was using Autoware, but not an AWF member, could the eSync PoC still be used under the proposed license?

Questions were answered in this issue: autowarefoundation/autoware-projects#33

Q: Confirm the situation around eSync's license for non-AWF members - is there any open source or free tier solution?
A: Since the Autoware project usage is not limited to only AWF members, non-AWF members will be made available to use eSync's OTA capability, once it's implemented in the Open AD Kit. This is a general rule of thumb but technicalities will be detailed once the implementation is completed.

Q: Confirm how AWF members will get access to eSync's solution
A: eSync's SDK is currently running on major public cloud vendors (such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud). For AWF members to access the solution, a separate SDK (with the same capabilities) will be made available to use through AWF hosted cloud instances
