ArduPlane License

Hello, 
I have a few questions regarding the licensing of ArduPlane 2.x/3.x firmware that I would like additional clarifications even after reading GNU GPL3.

Suppose, i use the current firmware, make some changes to it like removing certain flight modes, adding extra functionality, can i call it my own Auto Pilot and make it a commercial product(closed source)?

    Vaibhav,

    No, I'm afraid not. GPLv3 license means that if you use any of the code in your project, you must also make your project open source.

    The Ardupilot (including copter, plane, rover, mission planner and antenna tracker) License wiki page is here.

    Thanks for asking!
