STM32F4 BSP usage

[Sebastian Huber]

You can use the ST libraries, but they are not open source compatible.  If you 
see a ST representative, then please ask him why they have such a stupid license.

There are many examples of how to configure the STM32 hardware but these examples assume the ST libraries are being used.  Simply re-creating the libraries might not be possible without using the source code of the libraries since the source code is the only documentation in most cases.
