Its unofficial and under the GPL.
I don't think commercial use is a very good idea. |

Does the PSP platform still really have commercial potential? _________________ If not actually, then potentially. |

I've made Wi-Fi controlled relays using a PIC to turn on and off stuff from the PSP, and automatically turns off when you leave the room.
Its so simple and stupid from an engineers point of view but everyone thinks its cool and that I should sell it :/ |

| I don't think the pspsdk is GPL.. it's licensed under the BSD license isn't it? If so, you can use it for proprietary commercial purposes. |

| The problem isn't the license, it's the fact that you really can't run the programs on "regular" PSPs. So your market is fairly tiny. To make a commercial program, you really need the commercial SDK from Sony. |

You sure Sony just can't change the Game ID and encrypt/compress a homebrew EBOOT? |

| They probably could... the REAL question is WOULD they? What financial incentive is there for Sony to do such a thing? We haven't seen them do it so far, so it's probably not likely. |
