     1  CERN Open Hardware Licence Version 2 - Permissive
     2  
     3  
     4  Preamble
     5  
     6  CERN has developed this licence to promote collaboration among
     7  hardware designers and to provide a legal tool which supports the
     8  freedom to use, study, modify, share and distribute hardware designs
     9  and products based on those designs. Version 2 of the CERN Open
    10  Hardware Licence comes in three variants: this licence, CERN-OHL-P
    11  (permissive); and two reciprocal licences: CERN- OHL-W (weakly
    12  reciprocal) and CERN-OHL-S (strongly reciprocal).
    13  
    14  The CERN-OHL-P is copyright CERN 2020. Anyone is welcome to use it, in
    15  unmodified form only.
    16  
    17  Use of this Licence does not imply any endorsement by CERN of any
    18  Licensor or their designs nor does it imply any involvement by CERN in
    19  their development.
    20

    25  
    26    1.2 'Source' means information such as design materials or digital
    27        code which can be applied to Make or test a Product or to
    28        prepare a Product for use, Conveyance or sale, regardless of its
    29        medium or how it is expressed. It may include Notices.
    30

    37  
    38    1.5 'Make' means to create or configure something, whether by

   113  5 DISCLAIMER AND LIABILITY
   114  
   115    5.1 DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY -- The Covered Source and any Products
   116        are provided 'as is' and any express or implied warranties,
   117        including, but not limited to, implied warranties of
   118        merchantability, of satisfactory quality, non-infringement of
   119        third party rights, and fitness for a particular purpose or use
   120        are disclaimed in respect of any Source or Product to the
   121        maximum extent permitted by law. The Licensor makes no
   122        representation that any Source or Product does not or will not
   123        infringe any patent, copyright, trade secret or other
   124        proprietary right. The entire risk as to the use, quality, and
   125        performance of any Source or Product shall be with You and not
   126        the Licensor. This disclaimer of warranty is an essential part
   127        of this Licence and a condition for the grant of any rights
   128        granted under this Licence.
   129  
   130    5.2 EXCLUSION AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY -- The Licensor shall, to
   131        the maximum extent permitted by law, have no liability for
   132        direct, indirect, special, incidental, consequential, exemplary,
   133        punitive or other damages of any character including, without
   134        limitation, procurement of substitute goods or services, loss of
   135        use, data or profits, or business interruption, however caused
   136        and on any theory of contract, warranty, tort (including
   137        negligence), product liability or otherwise, arising in any way
   138        in relation to the Covered Source, modified Covered Source
   139        and/or the Making or Conveyance of a Product, even if advised of
   140        the possibility of such damages, and You shall hold the
   141        Licensor(s) free and harmless from any liability, costs,
   142        damages, fees and expenses, including claims by third parties,
   143        in relation to such use.
   144  
   145  
   146  6 Patents
   147  
   148    6.1 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Licence, each
   149        Licensor hereby grants to You a perpetual, worldwide,
   150        non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable (except as
   151        stated in this section 6, or where terminated by the Licensor
   152        for cause) patent license to Make, have Made, use, offer to
   153        sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Covered Source
   154        and Products, where such licence applies only to those patent
   155        claims licensable by such Licensor that are necessarily
   156        infringed by exercising rights under the Covered Source as
   157        Conveyed by that Licensor.
   158  
   159    6.2 If You institute patent litigation against any entity (including
   160        a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the
   161        Covered Source or a Product constitutes direct or contributory
   162        patent infringement, or You seek any declaration that a patent
   163        licensed to You under this Licence is invalid or unenforceable
   164        then any rights granted to You under this Licence shall
   165        terminate as of the date such process is initiated.
   166  
   167  
   168  7 General
   169  
   170    7.1 If any provisions of this Licence are or subsequently become
   171        invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining
   172        provisions shall remain effective.
   173  
   174    7.2 You shall not use any of the name (including acronyms and
   175        abbreviations), image, or logo by which the Licensor or CERN is
   176        known, except where needed to comply with section 3, or where
   177        the use is otherwise allowed by law. Any such permitted use
   178        shall be factual and shall not be made so as to suggest any kind
   179        of endorsement or implication of involvement by the Licensor or
   180        its personnel.
   181  
   182    7.3 CERN may publish updated versions and variants of this Licence
   183        which it considers to be in the spirit of this version, but may
   184        differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. New
   185        versions will be published with a unique version number and a
   186        variant identifier specifying the variant. If the Licensor has
   187        specified that a given variant applies to the Covered Source
   188        without specifying a version, You may treat that Covered Source
   189        as being released under any version of the CERN-OHL with that
   190        variant. If no variant is specified, the Covered Source shall be
   191        treated as being released under CERN-OHL-S. The Licensor may
   192        also specify that the Covered Source is subject to a specific
   193        version of the CERN-OHL or any later version in which case You
   194        may apply this or any later version of CERN-OHL with the same
   195        variant identifier published by CERN.
   196  
   197    7.4 This Licence shall not be enforceable except by a Licensor
   198        acting as such, and third party beneficiary rights are
   199        specifically excluded.
