+CERN Open Hardware Licence Version 2 - Permissive
+
+
+Preamble
+
+CERN has developed this licence to promote collaboration among hardware
+designers and to provide a legal tool which supports the freedom to use,
+study, modify, share and distribute hardware designs and products based on
+those designs. Version 2 of the CERN Open Hardware Licence comes in three
+variants: this licence, CERN-OHL-P (permissive); and two reciprocal licences:
+CERN-OHL-W (weakly reciprocal) and CERN-OHL-S (strongly reciprocal).
+
+The CERN-OHL-P 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-P.
+
+  1.2 '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.
+
+  1.3 'Covered Source' means Source that is explicitly made available under
+      this Licence.
+
+  1.4 '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.
+
+  1.5 'Make' means to create or configure something, whether by manufacture,
+      assembly, compiling, loading or applying Covered Source or another
+      Product or otherwise.
+
+  1.6 'Notice' means copyright, acknowledgement and trademark notices,
+      references to the location of any Notices, modification notices

+
+  3.1 You may copy and Convey verbatim copies of Covered Source, in any
+      medium, provided You retain all Notices.
+
+  3.2 You may modify Covered Source, other than Notices.

+      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

+
+       a) retain Notices as required in subsection 3.2; and
+
+       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

+
+
+5 DISCLAIMER AND LIABILITY
+
+  5.1 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.
+
+  5.2 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.
+
+
+6 Patents
+
+  6.1 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 this section 6, or where
+      terminated by the Licensor for cause) 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.
+
+  6.2 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.
+
+
+7 General
+
+  7.1 If any provisions of this Licence are or subsequently become invalid or
+      unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions shall remain
+      effective.
+
+  7.2 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.
+
+  7.3 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.
+
+  7.4 This Licence shall not be enforceable except by a Licensor acting as
+      such, and third party beneficiary rights are specifically excluded.
