+The TAPR Open Hardware License Version 1.0 (May 25, 2007) Copyright 2007 TAPR
+- http://www.tapr.org/OHL
+
+PREAMBLE
+
+Open Hardware is a thing - a physical artifact, either electrical or mechanical
+- whose design information is available to, and usable by, the public in a
+way that allows anyone to make, modify, distribute, and use that thing. In
+this preface, design information is called "documentation" and things created
+from it are called "products."
+
+The TAPR Open Hardware License ("OHL") agreement provides a legal framework
+for Open Hardware projects. It may be used for any kind of product, be it
+a hammer or a computer motherboard, and is TAPR's contribution to the community;
+anyone may use the OHL for their Open Hardware project.
+
+Like the GNU General Public License, the OHL is designed to guarantee your
+freedom to share and to create. It forbids anyone who receives rights under
+the OHL to deny any other licensee those same rights to copy, modify, and
+distribute documentation, and to make, use and distribute products based on
+that documentation.
+
+Unlike the GPL, the OHL is not primarily a copyright license. While copyright
+protects documentation from unauthorized copying, modification, and distribution,
+it has little to do with your right to make, distribute, or use a product
+based on that documentation. For better or worse, patents play a significant
+role in those activities. Although it does not prohibit anyone from patenting
+inventions embodied in an Open Hardware design, and of course cannot prevent
+a third party from enforcing their patent rights, those who benefit from an
+OHL design may not bring lawsuits claiming that design infringes their patents
+or other intellectual property.
+
+The OHL addresses unique issues involved in the creation of tangible, physical
+things, but does not cover software, firmware, or code loaded into programmable
+devices. A copyright-oriented license such as the GPL better suits these creations.
+
+How can you use the OHL, or a design based upon it? While the terms and conditions
+below take precedence over this preamble, here is a summary:
+
+ * You may modify the documentation and make products based upon it.
+
+ * You may use products for any legal purpose without limitation.
+
+* You may distribute unmodified documentation, but you must include the complete
+package as you received it.
+
+* You may distribute products you make to third parties, if you either include
+the documentation on which the product is based, or make it available without
+charge for at least three years to anyone who requests it.
+
+ * You may distribute modified documentation or products based on it, if you:
+
+ * License your modifications under the OHL.
+
+ * Include those modifications, following the requirements stated below.
+
+* Attempt to send the modified documentation by email to any of the developers
+who have provided their email address. This is a good faith obligation - if
+the email fails, you need do nothing more and may go on with your distribution.
+
+ * If you create a design that you want to license under the OHL, you should:
+
+* Include this document in a file named LICENSE (with the appropriate extension)
+that is included in the documentation package.
+
+* If the file format allows, include a notice like "Licensed under the TAPR
+Open Hardware License (www.tapr.org/OHL)" in each documentation file. While
+not required, you should also include this notice on printed circuit board
+artwork and the product itself; if space is limited the notice can be shortened
+or abbreviated.
+
+* Include a copyright notice in each file and on printed circuit board artwork.
+
+* If you wish to be notified of modifications that others may make, include
+your email address in a file named "CONTRIB.TXT" or something similar.
+
+* Any time the OHL requires you to make documentation available to others,
+you must include all the materials you received from the upstream licensors.
+In addition, if you have modified the documentation:
+
+* You must identify the modifications in a text file (preferably named "CHANGES.TXT")
+that you include with the documentation. That file must also include a statement
+like "These modifications are licensed under the TAPR Open Hardware License."
+
+* You must include any new files you created, including any manufacturing
+files (such as Gerber files) you create in the course of making products.
+
+* You must include both "before" and "after" versions of all files you modified.
+
+* You may include files in proprietary formats, but you must also include
+open format versions (such as Gerber, ASCII, Postscript, or PDF) if your tools
+can create them.
+
+TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+1. Introduction
+
+1.1 This Agreement governs how you may use, copy, modify, and distribute Documentation,
+and how you may make, have made, and distribute Products based on that Documentation.
+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;
+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. Patents
+
+2.1 Each Licensor grants you, every other Licensee, and every possessor or
+user of Products a perpetual, worldwide, and royalty-free immunity from suit
+under any patent, patent application, or other intellectual property right
+which he or she controls, to the extent necessary to make, have made, possess,
+use, and distribute Products. This immunity does not extend to infringement
+arising from modifications subsequently made by others.
+
+2.2 If you make or have Products made, or distribute Documentation that you
+have modified, you grant every Licensor, every other Licensee, and every possessor
+or user of Products a perpetual, worldwide, and royalty-free immunity from
+suit under any patent, patent application, or other intellectual property
+right which you control, to the extent necessary to make, have made, possess,
+use, and distribute Products. This immunity does not extend to infringement
+arising from modifications subsequently made by others.
+
+2.3 To avoid doubt, providing Documentation to a third party for the sole
+purpose of having that party make Products on your behalf is not considered
+"distribution,"\" and a third party's act of making Products solely on your
+behalf does not cause that party to grant the immunity described in the preceding
+paragraph.
+
+2.4 These grants of immunity are a material part of this Agreement, and form
+a portion of the consideration given by each party to the other. If any court
+judgment or legal agreement prevents you from granting the immunity required
+by this Section, your rights under this Agreement will terminate and you may
+no longer use, copy, modify or distribute the Documentation, or make, have
+made, or distribute Products.
+
+3. Modifications
+
+You may modify the Documentation, and those modifications will become part
+of the Documentation. They are subject to this Agreement, as are Products
+based in whole or in part on them. 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. If the Documentation
+specifies a version number which applies to it and "any later version", you
+may choose either that version or any later version published by TAPR. If
+the Documentation does not specify a version number, you may choose any version
+ever published by TAPR. TAPR owns the copyright to the OHL, but grants permission
+to any person to copy, distribute, and use it in unmodified form.
+
+7. WARRANTY AND LIABILITY LIMITATIONS
+
+7.1 THE DOCUMENTATION IS PROVIDED ON AN"AS-IS" BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY
+KIND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR
+IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS
+FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND TITLE, ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED.
+
+7.2 IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW WILL ANY LICENSOR BE LIABLE
+TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL,
+PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF, OR INABILITY TO
+USE, THE DOCUMENTATION OR PRODUCTS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO CLAIMS OF
+INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT OR LOSS OF DATA, EVEN IF THAT PARTY HAS
+BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+7.3 You agree that the foregoing limitations are reasonable due to the non-financial
+nature of the transaction represented by this Agreement, and acknowledge that
+were it not for these limitations, the Licensor(s) would not be willing to
+make the Documentation available to you.
+
+7.4 You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold each Licensor harmless from any
+claim brought by a third party alleging any defect in the design, manufacture,
+or operation of any Product which you make, have made, or distribute pursuant
+to this Agreement.
