I want to know about this license. I have two doubts the first one. it's about this part:
This notice may not be removed or altered from any source distribution.

what notice should i keep? that the program is free? that's it soon if I do something commercial with the library I can't sell it doesn't make sense. I must have misunderstood.

the second doubt is the sdk code has parts with different license. apache 2 I think thanks to the person to share her solutions is that it? after all I can modify or add things in the library freely for commercial purpose or not if I do I must keep only the disclaimer of:
If you use this software in a product, an acknowledgment in the product documentation is necessary.
Altered source versions must be plainly marked as such, and must not be misrepresented as being the original software.

or should I distribute as the library itself is distributed with the same notice as its license requires. but then how am I going to sell something advertised that it is free.?

it's nearly identical to the zlib license.

1. you can't sue ambiera if the source code destroys your computer or some other catastrophe happens. "as-is"

2. don't distribute your version of CopperLicht and claim that it is the original. any distribution of CopperLicht that you release would be a fork or a derivative. so don't release your source and call it CopperLicht. call it something else.

3.if you distribute, you must include a copy of the copperlicht license with what you release. just copy paste the text into a txt file called "CopperlichtLicense.txt" and distribute along with your source code.

TL;DR Legal explains the zlib license like this:

This license is used for the zlib library and some other open-source libraries/packages. It is very short and very permissive. It requires you to change the name of modified software and contains a sentence removing liability from the authors of the software.
