What does the GPLv3 require me to do?

Using GPLv3 code generally requires you to be a good player in the Free and Open Source ecosystem. That means for a start, that you cannot change the license. Any change you do to the code is required to be open sourced too. Whenever you release your code to the public (or sell it to someone) you need to also ship the entire source code required for a user to create their own builds from it. In addition to that, devices you create with GPLv3 licensed code must not be locked down in a way that users cannot modify and flash their own builds to it.

Will obtaining a commercial license get rid of the GPLv3 restrictions

Yes. We will build closed source packages for you which you can distribute without the GPLv3 obligations. Upon request we can add additional features and tune the system according to your use case.

There is also the possibility to obtain a developer/SDK license of nymea. This license will allow you to create your own modifications to nymea and all of its components without the GPLv3 obligations. Note that for such a license, a Qt developer license is required in addition.
