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 + (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. + + 1.7 'Licensee' or 'You' means any person exercising rights under this + Licence. + + 1.8 'Licensor' means a person who creates Source or modifies Covered Source + and subsequently Conveys the resulting Covered Source under the terms + and conditions of this Licence.

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.
