CERN Open Hardware Licence v1.1 ))??

Preamble

Through this CERN Open Hardware Licence ("CERN OHL") version 1.1, the
Organization wishes to disseminate its hardware designs (as published on
http:/www.ohwr.org/) as widely as possible, and generally to foster
collaboration among public research hardware designers. The CERN OHL is
copyright of CERN. Anyone is welcome to use the CERN OHL, in unmodified form
only, for the distribution of his own Open Hardware designs. Any other right is
reserved.

1. Definitions

In this Licence, the following terms have the following meanings:

"Licence" means this CERN OHL.

"Documentation" means schematic diagrams, designs, circuit or circuit board
layouts, mechanical drawings, flow charts and descriptive text, and other
explanatory material that is explicitly stated as being made available under the
conditions of this Licence. The Documentation may be in any medium, including
but not limited to computer files and representations on paper, film, or any
other media.

"Product" means either an entire, or any part of a, device built using the
Documentation or the modified Documentation.

"Licensee" means any natural or legal person exercising rights under this
Licence.

"Licensor" means any natural or legal person that creates or modifies
Documentation and subsequently communicates to the public and/ or distributes
the resulting Documentation under the terms and conditions of this Licence.

A Licensee may at the same time be a Licensor, and vice versa.

2. Applicability

   (( 2.1 ))??
   This Licence governs the use, copying, modification, communication to the
   public and distribution of the Documentation, and the manufacture and
   distribution of Products. By exercising any right granted under this Licence,
   the Licensee irrevocably accepts these terms and conditions.

   (( 2.2 ))??
   This Licence is granted by the Licensor directly to the Licensee, and shall
   apply worldwide and without limitation in time. The Licensee may assign his
   licence rights or grant sub-licences.

   (( 2.3 ))??
   This Licence does not apply to software, firmware, or code loaded into
   programmable devices which may be used in conjunction with the Documentation,
   the modified Documentation or with Products. The use of such software,
   firmware, or code is subject to the applicable licence terms and conditions.

3. Copying, modification, communication to the public and distribution of the
Documentation

   (( 3.1 ))??
   The Licensee shall keep intact all copyright and trademarks notices and all
   notices that refer to this Licence and to the disclaimer of warranties that
   is included in the Documentation. He shall include a copy thereof in every
   copy of the documentation or, as the case may be, modified Documentation,
   that he communicates to the public or distributes.

   (( 3.2 ))??
   The Licensee may use, copy, communicate to the public and distribute verbatim
   copies of the Documentation, in any medium, subject to the requirements
   specified in section 3.1.

   (( 3.3 ))??
   The Licensee may modify the Documentation or any portion thereof. The
   Licensee may communicate to the public and distribute the modified
   Documentation (thereby in addition to being a Licensee also becoming a
   Licensor), always provided that he shall:

      (( a. ))??
      comply with section 3.1;

      (( b. ))??
      cause the modified Documentation to carry prominent notices stating that
      the Licensee has modified the Documentation, with the date and details of
      the modifications;

      (( c. ))??
      license the modified Documentation under the terms and conditions of this
      Licence or, where applicable, a later version of this Licence as may be
      issued by CERN; and

      (( d. ))??
      send a copy of the modified Documentation to all Licensors that
      contributed to the parts of the Documentation that were modified, as well
      as to any other Licensor who has requested to receive a copy of the
      modified Documentation and has provided a means of contact with the
      Documentation.

   (( 3.4 ))??
   The Licence includes a licence to those patents or registered designs that
   are held by the Licensor, to the extent necessary to make use of the rights
   granted under this Licence. The scope of this section 3.4 shall be strictly
   limited to the parts of the Documentation or modified Documentation created
   by the Licensor.

4. Manufacture and distribution of Products

   (( 4.1 ))??
   The Licensee may manufacture or distribute Products always provided that the
   Licensee distributes to each recipient of such Products a copy of the
   Documentation or modified Documentation, as applicable, and complies with
   section 3.

   (( 4.2 ))??
   The Licensee is invited to inform in writing any Licensor who has indicated
   its wish to receive this information about the type, quantity and dates of
   production of Products the Licensee has (had) manufactured.

5. Warranty and liability

   (( 5.1 ))??
   DISCLAIMER – The Documentation and any modified Documentation are provided
   "as is" and any express or implied warranties, including, but not limited to,
   implied warranties of merchantability, of satisfactory quality, and fitness
   for a particular purpose or use are disclaimed in respect of the
   Documentation, the modified Documentation or any Product. The Licensor makes
   no representation that the Documentation, modified Documentation, or any
   Product, does or will not infringe any patent, copyright, trade secret or
   other proprietary right. The entire risk as to the use, quality, and
   performance of a Product shall be with the Licensee 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. The
   Licensee warrants that it does not act in a consumer capacity.

   (( 5.2 ))??
   LIMITATION OF LIABILITY – The Licensor shall 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 Documentation, modified Documentation and/or the use,
   manufacture or distribution of a Product, even if advised of the possibility
   of such damages, and the Licensee 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. General

   (( 6.1 ))??
   The rights granted under this Licence do not imply or represent any transfer
   or assignment of intellectual property rights to the Licensee.

   (( 6.2 ))??
   The Licensee shall not use or make reference to any of the names, acronyms,
   images or logos under which the Licensor is known, save in so far as required
   to comply with section 3. Any such permitted use or reference shall be
   factual and shall in no event suggest any kind of endorsement by the Licensor
   or its personnel of the modified Documentation or any Product, or any kind of
   implication by the Licensor or its personnel in the preparation of the
   modified Documentation or Product.

   (( 6.3 ))??
   CERN may publish updated versions of this Licence which retain the same
   general provisions as this version, but differ in detail so far this is
   required and reasonable. New versions will be published with a unique version
   number.

   (( 6.4 ))??
   This Licence shall terminate with immediate effect, upon written notice and
   without involvement of a court if the Licensee fails to comply with any of
   its terms and conditions, or if the Licensee initiates legal action against
   Licensor in relation to this Licence. Section 5 shall continue to apply.

   (( 6.5 ))??
   Except as may be otherwise agreed with the Intergovernmental Organization,
   any dispute with respect to this Licence involving an Intergovernmental
   Organization shall, by virtue of the latter's Intergovernmental status, be
   settled by international arbitration. The arbitration proceedings shall be
   held at the place where the Intergovernmental Organization has its seat. The
   arbitral award shall be final and binding upon the parties, who hereby
   expressly agree to renounce any form of appeal or revision.
