CERN Open Hardware Licence Version 2 - Strongly Reciprocal
2+
3+
4+
Preamble
5+
6+
CERN has developed this licence to promote collaboration among hardware
7+
designers and to provide a legal tool which supports the freedom to use,
8+
study, modify, share and distribute hardware designs and products based on
9+
those designs. Version 2 of the CERN Open Hardware Licence comes in three
10+
variants: CERN-OHL-P (permissive); and two reciprocal licences: CERN-OHL-W
11+
(weakly reciprocal) and this licence, CERN-OHL-S (strongly reciprocal).
12+
13+
The CERN-OHL-S is copyright CERN 2020. Anyone is welcome to use it, in
14+
unmodified form only.
15+
16+
Use of this Licence does not imply any endorsement by CERN of any Licensor or
17+
their designs nor does it imply any involvement by CERN in their development.
18+
19+
20+
1 Definitions
21+
22+
1.1 'Licence' means this CERN-OHL-S.
23+
24+
1.2 'Compatible Licence' means
25+
26+
a) any earlier version of the CERN Open Hardware licence, or
27+
28+
b) any version of the CERN-OHL-S, or
29+
30+
c) any licence which permits You to treat the Source to which it
31+
applies as licensed under CERN-OHL-S provided that on Conveyance of
32+
any such Source, or any associated Product You treat the Source in
33+
question as being licensed under CERN-OHL-S.
34+
35+
1.3 'Source' means information such as design materials or digital code
36+
which can be applied to Make or test a Product or to prepare a Product
37+
for use, Conveyance or sale, regardless of its medium or how it is
38+
expressed. It may include Notices.
39+
40+
1.4 'Covered Source' means Source that is explicitly made available under
41+
this Licence.
42+
43+
1.5 'Product' means any device, component, work or physical object, whether
44+
in finished or intermediate form, arising from the use, application or
45+
processing of Covered Source.
46+
47+
1.6 'Make' means to create or configure something, whether by manufacture,
48+
assembly, compiling, loading or applying Covered Source or another
49+
Product or otherwise.
50+
51+
1.7 'Available Component' means any part, sub-assembly, library or code
52+
which:
53+
54+
a) is licensed to You as Complete Source under a Compatible Licence; or
55+
56+
b) is available, at the time a Product or the Source containing it is
57+
first Conveyed, to You and any other prospective licensees
58+
59+
i) as a physical part with sufficient rights and information
60+
(including any configuration and programming files and
61+
information about its characteristics and interfaces) to enable
62+
it either to be Made itself, or to be sourced and used to Make
63+
the Product; or
64+
ii) as part of the normal distribution of a tool used to design or
65+
Make the Product.
66+
67+
1.8 'Complete Source' means the set of all Source necessary to Make a
68+
Product, in the preferred form for making modifications, including
69+
necessary installation and interfacing information both for the Product,
70+
and for any included Available Components. If the format is
71+
proprietary, it must also be made available in a format (if the
72+
proprietary tool can create it) which is viewable with a tool available
73+
to potential licensees and licensed under a licence approved by the Free
74+
Software Foundation or the Open Source Initiative. Complete Source need
75+
not include the Source of any Available Component, provided that You
76+
include in the Complete Source sufficient information to enable a
77+
recipient to Make or source and use the Available Component to Make the
78+
Product.
79+
80+
1.9 'Source Location' means a location where a Licensor has placed Covered
81+
Source, and which that Licensor reasonably believes will remain easily
82+
accessible for at least three years for anyone to obtain a digital copy.
83+
84+
1.10 'Notice' means copyright, acknowledgement and trademark notices, Source
85+
Location references, modification notices (subsection 3.3(b)) and all
86+
notices that refer to this Licence and to the disclaimer of warranties
87+
that are included in the Covered Source.
88+
89+
1.11 'Licensee' or 'You' means any person exercising rights under this
90+
Licence.
91+
92+
1.12 'Licensor' means a natural or legal person who creates or modifies
93+
Covered Source. A person may be a Licensee and a Licensor at the same
94+
time.
95+
96+
1.13 'Convey' means to communicate to the public or distribute.
97+
98+
99+
2 Applicability
100+
101+
2.1 This Licence governs the use, copying, modification, Conveying of
102+
Covered Source and Products, and the Making of Products. By exercising
103+
any right granted under this Licence, You irrevocably accept these terms
104+
and conditions.
105+
106+
2.2 This Licence is granted by the Licensor directly to You, and shall apply
107+
worldwide and without limitation in time.
108+
109+
2.3 You shall not attempt to restrict by contract or otherwise the rights
110+
granted under this Licence to other Licensees.
111+
112+
2.4 This Licence is not intended to restrict fair use, fair dealing, or any
113+
other similar right.
114+
115+
116+
3 Copying, Modifying and Conveying Covered Source
117+
118+
3.1 You may copy and Convey verbatim copies of Covered Source, in any
119+
medium, provided You retain all Notices.
120+
121+
3.2 You may modify Covered Source, other than Notices, provided that You
122+
irrevocably undertake to make that modified Covered Source available
123+
from a Source Location should You Convey a Product in circumstances
124+
where the recipient does not otherwise receive a copy of the modified
125+
Covered Source. In each case subsection 3.3 shall apply.
126+
127+
You may only delete Notices if they are no longer applicable to the
128+
corresponding Covered Source as modified by You and You may add
129+
additional Notices applicable to Your modifications. Including Covered
130+
Source in a larger work is modifying the Covered Source, and the larger
131+
work becomes modified Covered Source.
132+
133+
3.3 You may Convey modified Covered Source (with the effect that You shall
134+
also become a Licensor) provided that You:
135+
136+
a) retain Notices as required in subsection 3.2;
137+
138+
b) add a Notice to the modified Covered Source stating that You have
139+
modified it, with the date and brief description of how You have
140+
modified it;
141+
142+
c) add a Source Location Notice for the modified Covered Source if You
143+
Convey in circumstances where the recipient does not otherwise
144+
receive a copy of the modified Covered Source; and
145+
146+
d) license the modified Covered Source under the terms and conditions
147+
of this Licence (or, as set out in subsection 8.3, a later version,
148+
if permitted by the licence of the original Covered Source). Such
149+
modified Covered Source must be licensed as a whole, but excluding
150+
Available Components contained in it, which remain licensed under
151+
their own applicable licences.
152+
153+
154+
4 Making and Conveying Products
155+
156+
You may Make Products, and/or Convey them, provided that You either provide
157+
each recipient with a copy of the Complete Source or ensure that each
158+
recipient is notified of the Source Location of the Complete Source. That
159+
Complete Source is Covered Source, and You must accordingly satisfy Your
160+
obligations set out in subsection 3.3. If specified in a Notice, the Product
161+
must visibly and securely display the Source Location on it or its packaging
162+
or documentation in the manner specified in that Notice.
163+
164+
165+
5 Research and Development
166+
167+
You may Convey Covered Source, modified Covered Source or Products to a legal
168+
entity carrying out development, testing or quality assurance work on Your
169+
behalf provided that the work is performed on terms which prevent the entity
170+
from both using the Source or Products for its own internal purposes and
171+
Conveying the Source or Products or any modifications to them to any person
172+
other than You. Any modifications made by the entity shall be deemed to be
173+
made by You pursuant to subsection 3.2.
174+
175+
176+
6 DISCLAIMER AND LIABILITY
177+
178+
6.1 DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY -- The Covered Source and any Products are
179+
provided 'as is' and any express or implied warranties, including, but
180+
not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability, of satisfactory
181+
quality, non-infringement of third party rights, and fitness for a
182+
particular purpose or use are disclaimed in respect of any Source or
183+
Product to the maximum extent permitted by law. The Licensor makes no
184+
representation that any Source or Product does not or will not infringe
185+
any patent, copyright, trade secret or other proprietary right. The
186+
entire risk as to the use, quality, and performance of any Source or
187+
Product shall be with You and not the Licensor. This disclaimer of
188+
warranty is an essential part of this Licence and a condition for the
189+
grant of any rights granted under this Licence.
190+
191+
6.2 EXCLUSION AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY -- The Licensor shall, to the
192+
maximum extent permitted by law, have no liability for direct, indirect,
193+
special, incidental, consequential, exemplary, punitive or other damages
194+
of any character including, without limitation, procurement of
195+
substitute goods or services, loss of use, data or profits, or business
196+
interruption, however caused and on any theory of contract, warranty,
197+
tort (including negligence), product liability or otherwise, arising in
198+
any way in relation to the Covered Source, modified Covered Source
199+
and/or the Making or Conveyance of a Product, even if advised of the
200+
possibility of such damages, and You shall hold the Licensor(s) free and
201+
harmless from any liability, costs, damages, fees and expenses,
202+
including claims by third parties, in relation to such use.
203+
204+
205+
7 Patents
206+
207+
7.1 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Licence, each Licensor
208+
hereby grants to You a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge,
209+
royalty-free, irrevocable (except as stated in subsections 7.2 and 8.4)
210+
patent licence to Make, have Made, use, offer to sell, sell, import, and
211+
otherwise transfer the Covered Source and Products, where such licence
212+
applies only to those patent claims licensable by such Licensor that are
213+
necessarily infringed by exercising rights under the Covered Source as
214+
Conveyed by that Licensor.
215+
216+
7.2 If You institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
217+
cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Covered
218+
Source or a Product constitutes direct or contributory patent
219+
infringement, or You seek any declaration that a patent licensed to You
220+
under this Licence is invalid or unenforceable then any rights granted
221+
to You under this Licence shall terminate as of the date such process is
222+
initiated.
223+
224+
225+
8 General
226+
227+
8.1 If any provisions of this Licence are or subsequently become invalid or
228+
unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions shall remain
229+
effective.
230+
231+
8.2 You shall not use any of the name (including acronyms and
232+
abbreviations), image, or logo by which the Licensor or CERN is known,
233+
except where needed to comply with section 3, or where the use is
234+
otherwise allowed by law. Any such permitted use shall be factual and
235+
shall not be made so as to suggest any kind of endorsement or
236+
implication of involvement by the Licensor or its personnel.
237+
238+
8.3 CERN may publish updated versions and variants of this Licence which it
239+
considers to be in the spirit of this version, but may differ in detail
240+
to address new problems or concerns. New versions will be published with
241+
a unique version number and a variant identifier specifying the variant.
242+
If the Licensor has specified that a given variant applies to the
243+
Covered Source without specifying a version, You may treat that Covered
244+
Source as being released under any version of the CERN-OHL with that
245+
variant. If no variant is specified, the Covered Source shall be treated
246+
as being released under CERN-OHL-S. The Licensor may also specify that
247+
the Covered Source is subject to a specific version of the CERN-OHL or
248+
any later version in which case You may apply this or any later version
249+
of CERN-OHL with the same variant identifier published by CERN.
250+
251+
8.4 This Licence shall terminate with immediate effect if You fail to comply
252+
with any of its terms and conditions.
253+
254+
8.5 However, if You cease all breaches of this Licence, then Your Licence
255+
from any Licensor is reinstated unless such Licensor has terminated this
256+
Licence by giving You, while You remain in breach, a notice specifying
257+
the breach and requiring You to cure it within 30 days, and You have
258+
failed to come into compliance in all material respects by the end of
259+
the 30 day period. Should You repeat the breach after receipt of a cure
260+
notice and subsequent reinstatement, this Licence will terminate
261+
immediately and permanently. Section 6 shall continue to apply after any
262+
termination.
263+
264+
8.6 This Licence shall not be enforceable except by a Licensor acting as
265+
such, and third party beneficiary rights are specifically excluded.
