As used in this +Agreement, to "distribute" Documentation means to directly or indirectly +make copies available to a third party, and to "distribute" Products +means to directly or indirectly give, loan, sell or otherwise transfer them to a third party. - 1.2 "Documentation" includes: - - (a) schematic diagrams; - -(b) circuit or circuit board layouts, including Gerber and other data files -used for manufacture; - -(c) mechanical drawings, including CAD, CAM, and other data files used for -manufacture; - - (d) flow charts and descriptive text; and - - (e) other explanatory material. - -Documentation may be in any tangible or intangible form of expression, including -but not limited to computer files in open or proprietary formats and representations -on paper, film, or other media. - - 1.3 "Products" include: - -(a) circuit boards, mechanical assemblies, and other physical parts and components; - -(b) assembled or partially assembled units (including components and subassemblies); -and - -(c) parts and components combined into kits intended for assembly by others; +1.2 "Documentation" includes: + (a) schematic diagrams; + (b) circuit or circuit board layouts, including Gerber and other + data files used for manufacture; + (c) mechanical drawings, including CAD, CAM, and other data files + used for manufacture; + (d) flow charts and descriptive text; and + (e) other explanatory material. +Documentation may be in any tangible or intangible form of expression, +including but not limited to computer files in open or proprietary +formats and representations on paper, film, or other media. + +1.3 "Products" include: + (a) circuit boards, mechanical assemblies, and other physical parts + and components; + (b) assembled or partially assembled units (including components + and subassemblies); and + (c) parts and components combined into kits intended for assembly + by others; which are based in whole or in part on the Documentation. -1.4 This Agreement applies to any Documentation which contains a notice stating -it is subject to the TAPR Open Hardware License, and to all Products based -in whole or in part on that Documentation. If Documentation is distributed -in an archive (such as a "zip" file) which includes this document, all files -in that archive are subject to this Agreement unless they are specifically -excluded. Each person who contributes content to the Documentation is referred -to in this Agreement as a "Licensor." - -1.5 By (a) using, copying, modifying, or distributing the Documentation, or -(b) making or having Products made or distributing them, you accept this Agreement, -agree to comply with its terms, and become a "Licensee." Any activity inconsistent -with this Agreement will automatically terminate your rights under it (including -the immunities from suit granted in Section 2), but the rights of others who -have received Documentation, or have obtained Products, directly or indirectly -from you will not be affected so long as they fully comply with it themselves. - -1.6 This Agreement does not apply to software, firmware, or code loaded into -programmable devices which may be used in conjunction with Documentation or -Products. Such software is subject to the license terms established by its -copyright holder(s). - -2.

If you distribute the modified Documentation, -or Products based in whole or in part upon it, you must email the modified -Documentation in a form compliant with Section 4 to each Licensor who has -provided an email address with the Documentation. Attempting to send the email -completes your obligations under this Section and you need take no further -action if any address fails. - -4. Distributing Documentation - -4.1 You may distribute unmodified copies of the Documentation in its entirety -in any medium, provided that you retain all copyright and other notices (including -references to this Agreement) included by each Licensor, and include an unaltered -copy of this Agreement. - -4.2 You may distribute modified copies of the Documentation if you comply -with all the requirements of the preceding paragraph and: - -(a) include a prominent notice in an ASCII or other open format file identifying -those elements of the Documentation that you changed, and stating that the -modifications are licensed under the terms of this Agreement; - -(b) include all new documentation files that you create, as well as both the -original and modified versions of each file you change (files may be in your -development tool's native file format, but if reasonably possible, you must -also include open format, such as Gerber, ASCII, Postscript, or PDF, versions); - -(c) do not change the terms of this Agreement with respect to subsequent licensees; -and - -(d) if you make or have Products made, include in the Documentation all elements -reasonably required to permit others to make Products, including Gerber, CAD/CAM -and other files used for manufacture. - -5. Making Products - -5.1 You may use the Documentation to make or have Products made, provided -that each Product retains any notices included by the Licensor (including, -but not limited to, copyright notices on circuit boards). - -5.2 You may distribute Products you make or have made, provided that you include -with each unit a copy of the Documentation in a form consistent with Section -4. Alternatively, you may include either (i) an offer valid for at least three -years to provide that Documentation, at no charge other than the reasonable -cost of media and postage, to any person who requests it; or (ii) a URL where -that Documentation may be downloaded, available for at least three years after -you last distribute the Product. - -6. NEW LICENSE VERSIONS - -TAPR may publish updated versions of the OHL which retain the same general -provisions as the present version, but differ in detail to address new problems -or concerns, and carry a distinguishing version number.
