Your getting downvoted, but you can do this without advocating actual piracy.

The Saleae hardware doubles as a license for the software. Using a "knock off" with open source free software is perfectly fine.

https://sigrok.org/ Is a great tool that works with a great selection of hardware. Including most of the knockoffs.

Yes that’s what I was intending. Should have been clear there.

I actually own a genuine Saleae for ref. Although I blew it up :(
