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. + +#### |
