Version 2 of the CERN Open +Hardware Licence comes in three variants: CERN-OHL-P (permissive); and +two reciprocal licences: this licence, CERN-OHL-W (weakly reciprocal) +and CERN-OHL-S (strongly reciprocal). + +The CERN-OHL-W is copyright CERN 2020. Anyone is welcome to use it, in +unmodified form only. + +Use of this Licence does not imply any endorsement by CERN of any +Licensor or their designs nor does it imply any involvement by CERN in +their development. + + +1 Definitions + + 1.1 'Licence' means this CERN-OHL-W. + + 1.2 'Compatible Licence' means + + a) any earlier version of the CERN Open Hardware licence, or + + b) any version of the CERN-OHL-S or the CERN-OHL-W, or + + c) any licence which permits You to treat the Source to which + it applies as licensed under CERN-OHL-S or CERN-OHL-W + provided that on Conveyance of any such Source, or any + associated Product You treat the Source in question as being + licensed under CERN-OHL-S or CERN-OHL-W as appropriate. + + 1.3 'Source' means information such as design materials or digital + code which can be applied to Make or test a Product or to + prepare a Product for use, Conveyance or sale, regardless of its + medium or how it is expressed. It may include Notices. + + 1.4 'Covered Source' means Source that is explicitly made available + under this Licence. + + 1.5 'Product' means any device, component, work or physical object, + whether in finished or intermediate form, arising from the use, + application or processing of Covered Source. + + 1.6 'Make' means to create or configure something, whether by + manufacture, assembly, compiling, loading or applying Covered + Source or another Product or otherwise. + + 1.7 'Available Component' means any part, sub-assembly, library or + code which: + + a) is licensed to You as Complete Source under a Compatible + Licence; or + + b) is available, at the time a Product or the Source containing + it is first Conveyed, to You and any other prospective + licensees + + i) with sufficient rights and information (including any + configuration and programming files and information + about its characteristics and interfaces) to enable it + either to be Made itself, or to be sourced and used to + Make the Product; or + ii) as part of the normal distribution of a tool used to + design or Make the Product. + + 1.8 'External Material' means anything (including Source) which: + + a) is only combined with Covered Source in such a way that it + interfaces with the Covered Source using a documented + interface which is described in the Covered Source; and + + b) is not a derivative of or contains Covered Source, or, if it + is, it is solely to the extent necessary to facilitate such + interfacing. + + 1.9 'Complete Source' means the set of all Source necessary to Make + a Product, in the preferred form for making modifications, + including necessary installation and interfacing information + both for the Product, and for any included Available Components. + If the format is proprietary, it must also be made available in + a format (if the proprietary tool can create it) which is + viewable with a tool available to potential licensees and + licensed under a licence approved by the Free Software + Foundation or the Open Source Initiative. Complete Source need + not include the Source of any Available Component, provided that + You include in the Complete Source sufficient information to + enable a recipient to Make or source and use the Available + Component to Make the Product. + + 1.10 'Source Location' means a location where a Licensor has placed + Covered Source, and which that Licensor reasonably believes will + remain easily accessible for at least three years for anyone to + obtain a digital copy. + + 1.11 'Notice' means copyright, acknowledgement and trademark notices, + Source Location references, modification notices (subsection + 3.3(b)) and all notices that refer to this Licence and to the + disclaimer of warranties that are included in the Covered + Source. + + 1.12 'Licensee' or 'You' means any person exercising rights under + this Licence. + + 1.13 'Licensor' means a natural or legal person who creates or + modifies Covered Source. A person may be a Licensee and a + Licensor at the same time. + + 1.14 'Convey' means to communicate to the public or distribute. + + +2 Applicability + + 2.1 This Licence governs the use, copying, modification, Conveying + of Covered Source and Products, and the Making of Products.

In each case subsection 3.3 + shall apply. + + You may only delete Notices if they are no longer applicable to + the corresponding Covered Source as modified by You and You may + add additional Notices applicable to Your modifications. + + 3.3 You may Convey modified Covered Source (with the effect that You + shall also become a Licensor) provided that You: + + a) retain Notices as required in subsection 3.2; + + b) add a Notice to the modified Covered Source stating that You + have modified it, with the date and brief description of how + You have modified it; + + c) add a Source Location Notice for the modified Covered Source + if You Convey in circumstances where the recipient does not + otherwise receive a copy of the modified Covered Source; and + + d) license the modified Covered Source under the terms and + conditions of this Licence (or, as set out in subsection + 8.3, a later version, if permitted by the licence of the + original Covered Source). Such modified Covered Source must + be licensed as a whole, but excluding Available Components + contained in it or External Material to which it is + interfaced, which remain licensed under their own applicable + licences. + + +4 Making and Conveying Products + + 4.1 You may Make Products, and/or Convey them, provided that You + either provide each recipient with a copy of the Complete Source + or ensure that each recipient is notified of the Source Location + of the Complete Source. That Complete Source includes Covered + Source and You must accordingly satisfy Your obligations set out + in subsection 3.3. If specified in a Notice, the Product must + visibly and securely display the Source Location on it or its + packaging or documentation in the manner specified in that + Notice. + + 4.2 Where You Convey a Product which incorporates External Material, + the Complete Source for that Product which You are required to + provide under subsection 4.1 need not include any Source for the + External Material. + + 4.3 You may license Products under terms of Your choice, provided + that such terms do not restrict or attempt to restrict any + recipients' rights under this Licence to the Covered Source. + + +5 Research and Development + +You may Convey Covered Source, modified Covered Source or Products to +a legal entity carrying out development, testing or quality assurance +work on Your behalf provided that the work is performed on terms which +prevent the entity from both using the Source or Products for its own +internal purposes and Conveying the Source or Products or any +modifications to them to any person other than You. Any modifications +made by the entity shall be deemed to be made by You pursuant to +subsection 3.2. + + +6 DISCLAIMER AND LIABILITY + + 6.1 DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY -- The Covered Source and any Products + are provided 'as is' and any express or implied warranties, + including, but not limited to, implied warranties of + merchantability, of satisfactory quality, non-infringement of + third party rights, and fitness for a particular purpose or use + are disclaimed in respect of any Source or Product to the + maximum extent permitted by law. The Licensor makes no + representation that any Source or Product does not or will not + infringe any patent, copyright, trade secret or other + proprietary right. The entire risk as to the use, quality, and + performance of any Source or Product shall be with You and not + the Licensor. This disclaimer of warranty is an essential part + of this Licence and a condition for the grant of any rights + granted under this Licence. + + 6.2 EXCLUSION AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY -- The Licensor shall, to + the maximum extent permitted by law, have no liability for + direct, indirect, special, incidental, consequential, exemplary, + punitive or other damages of any character including, without + limitation, procurement of substitute goods or services, loss of + use, data or profits, or business interruption, however caused + and on any theory of contract, warranty, tort (including + negligence), product liability or otherwise, arising in any way + in relation to the Covered Source, modified Covered Source + and/or the Making or Conveyance of a Product, even if advised of + the possibility of such damages, and You shall hold the + Licensor(s) free and harmless from any liability, costs, + damages, fees and expenses, including claims by third parties, + in relation to such use. + + +7 Patents + + 7.1 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Licence, each + Licensor hereby grants to You a perpetual, worldwide, + non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable (except as + stated in subsections 7.2 and 8.4) patent licence to Make, have + Made, use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer + the Covered Source and Products, where such licence applies only + to those patent claims licensable by such Licensor that are + necessarily infringed by exercising rights under the Covered + Source as Conveyed by that Licensor. + + 7.2 If You institute patent litigation against any entity (including + a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the + Covered Source or a Product constitutes direct or contributory + patent infringement, or You seek any declaration that a patent + licensed to You under this Licence is invalid or unenforceable + then any rights granted to You under this Licence shall + terminate as of the date such process is initiated. + + +8 General + + 8.1 If any provisions of this Licence are or subsequently become + invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining + provisions shall remain effective. + + 8.2 You shall not use any of the name (including acronyms and + abbreviations), image, or logo by which the Licensor or CERN is + known, except where needed to comply with section 3, or where + the use is otherwise allowed by law. Any such permitted use + shall be factual and shall not be made so as to suggest any kind + of endorsement or implication of involvement by the Licensor or + its personnel. + + 8.3 CERN may publish updated versions and variants of this Licence + which it considers to be in the spirit of this version, but may + differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. New + versions will be published with a unique version number and a + variant identifier specifying the variant. If the Licensor has + specified that a given variant applies to the Covered Source + without specifying a version, You may treat that Covered Source + as being released under any version of the CERN-OHL with that + variant. If no variant is specified, the Covered Source shall be + treated as being released under CERN-OHL-S. The Licensor may + also specify that the Covered Source is subject to a specific + version of the CERN-OHL or any later version in which case You + may apply this or any later version of CERN-OHL with the same + variant identifier published by CERN. + + You may treat Covered Source licensed under CERN-OHL-W as + licensed under CERN-OHL-S if and only if all Available + Components referenced in the Covered Source comply with the + corresponding definition of Available Component for CERN-OHL-S. + + 8.4 This Licence shall terminate with immediate effect if You fail + to comply with any of its terms and conditions. + + 8.5 However, if You cease all breaches of this Licence, then Your + Licence from any Licensor is reinstated unless such Licensor has + terminated this Licence by giving You, while You remain in + breach, a notice specifying the breach and requiring You to cure + it within 30 days, and You have failed to come into compliance + in all material respects by the end of the 30 day period. Should + You repeat the breach after receipt of a cure notice and + subsequent reinstatement, this Licence will terminate + immediately and permanently. Section 6 shall continue to apply + after any termination. + + 8.6 This Licence shall not be enforceable except by a Licensor + acting as such, and third party beneficiary rights are + specifically excluded. + + + +## Documentation +Attribution 4.0 International + +======================================================================= + +Creative Commons Corporation ("Creative Commons") is not a law firm and +does not provide legal services or legal advice.

Patent and trademark rights are not licensed under this + Public License. + + 3. To the extent possible, the Licensor waives any right to + collect royalties from You for the exercise of the Licensed + Rights, whether directly or through a collecting society + under any voluntary or waivable statutory or compulsory + licensing scheme.

If requested by the Licensor, You must remove any of the + information required by Section 3(a)(1)(A) to the extent + reasonably practicable. + + 4.

You must comply with the conditions in Section 3(a) if You Share + all or a substantial portion of the contents of the database. + +For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4 supplements and does not +replace Your obligations under this Public License where the Licensed +Rights include other Copyright and Similar Rights. + + +Section 5 -- Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability. + + a. UNLESS OTHERWISE SEPARATELY UNDERTAKEN BY THE LICENSOR, TO THE + EXTENT POSSIBLE, THE LICENSOR OFFERS THE LICENSED MATERIAL AS-IS + AND AS-AVAILABLE, AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF + ANY KIND CONCERNING THE LICENSED MATERIAL, WHETHER EXPRESS, + IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHER. THIS INCLUDES, WITHOUT LIMITATION, + WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR + PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS, + ACCURACY, OR THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF ERRORS, WHETHER OR NOT + KNOWN OR DISCOVERABLE.

WHERE A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IS NOT ALLOWED IN FULL OR + IN PART, THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. + + c. The disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability provided + above shall be interpreted in a manner that, to the extent + possible, most closely approximates an absolute disclaimer and + waiver of all liability. + + +Section 6 -- Term and Termination. + + a. This Public License applies for the term of the Copyright and + Similar Rights licensed here. However, if You fail to comply with + this Public License, then Your rights under this Public License + terminate automatically. + + b. Where Your right to use the Licensed Material has terminated under + Section 6(a), it reinstates: + + 1. automatically as of the date the violation is cured, provided + it is cured within 30 days of Your discovery of the + violation; or + + 2. upon express reinstatement by the Licensor. + + For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6(b) does not affect any + right the Licensor may have to seek remedies for Your violations + of this Public License. + + c. For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensor may also offer the + Licensed Material under separate terms or conditions or stop + distributing the Licensed Material at any time; however, doing so + will not terminate this Public License. + + d. Sections 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 survive termination of this Public + License. + + +Section 7 -- Other Terms and Conditions. + + a. The Licensor shall not be bound by any additional or different + terms or conditions communicated by You unless expressly agreed. + + b. Any arrangements, understandings, or agreements regarding the + Licensed Material not stated herein are separate from and + independent of the terms and conditions of this Public License. + + +Section 8 -- Interpretation. + + a. For the avoidance of doubt, this Public License does not, and + shall not be interpreted to, reduce, limit, restrict, or impose + conditions on any use of the Licensed Material that could lawfully + be made without permission under this Public License. + + b. To the extent possible, if any provision of this Public License is + deemed unenforceable, it shall be automatically reformed to the + minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable. If the provision + cannot be reformed, it shall be severed from this Public License + without affecting the enforceability of the remaining terms and + conditions. + + c. No term or condition of this Public License will be waived and no + failure to comply consented to unless expressly agreed to by the + Licensor. + + d. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or may be interpreted + as a limitation upon, or waiver of, any privileges and immunities + that apply to the Licensor or You, including from the legal + processes of any jurisdiction or authority. + + +======================================================================= + +Creative Commons is not a party to its public +licenses.
