global importance. Open science accelerates development and

science is a tool for reducing inequality. Where developing
nations lack access to scientific developments and
technology, the gap between them and the more developed
nations increases. Open science helps to close that gap.</font></div>

can consist of both software and hardware. Friction-free
access to software and hardware is crucial to enabling open
science. This principle is at the heart of the rationale for
the CERN OHL. Open source software is well known and
understood and is well served (possibly too well served) by
a large number of licences. In contrast, the field of open
source hardware is not as mature as open source software,
and only a small number of licences have been drafted to
cover open source hardware (the most prominent being the
CERN OHL, the TAPR OHL and the Solderpad Hardware License). </font></div>

source software licences (such as Apache 2.0, GPLv3 and

hardware, because the terminology is often inappropriate
(for example “source code” and “object code”), they may fail
to recognise some forms of intellectual property rights
which are relevant to some forms of hardware design (for
example, database rights in the EU which may be applicable
to netlists used to create printed circuit boards), and, for
reciprocal/copyleft licences, the scope of the
reciprocal/copyleft requirements in relation to other
designs which are integrated into or interfaced with a
particular design is unclear. </font></div>

of licences we have released as version 2, are designed to
address these issues, and cover as broad a range of hardware
as possible, from artistic and sculptural works, to
mechanical devices, to electronic devices, and finally to
hardware described using Hardware Description Languages
(HDL) resulting in the configuration of FPGAs or the
manufacturing of ASICs. Each of these types of hardware
represents a point along a spectrum from “hardness” to
“softness”, in that HDL code looks very similar to software
code, and can be developed, tested, in a similar way to
software, and the bitstream (object code) can be loaded onto
an FPGA in much the same way that firmware, clearly
software, and a hair’s breadth on the other side of the
hardware/software divide, can be loaded into NVRAM. </font></div>

CERN-OHL licences to be applicable, at the licensor’s
option, to software. We fully expect that much software
associated with hardware (for example, firmware) will
continue to be licensed under existing OSI licences such as
GPLv3. However, we considered it important that licensors
have the option of licensing the entire design, including
circuit boards, HDL files, and firmware, under a single
licence, CERN OHL, if they wish. Indeed, in order not to
fragment the commons created by GPLv2 and GPLv3, one of
those licences (or GPLv2 or later) may remain a more
appropriate licence. However, we would ask in this case that
Licensors consider dual licensing the software portions of
their design under GPLv2+ or GPLv3 to facilitate
compatibility with third party components licensed under
those licences. </font></div>

almost any project to select a third party licence, and thus
limit licence proliferation within the field of open
hardware before it has even started to become a significant
problem. It can be argued that almost every open source
software project can be well served by selecting either
Apache 2.0, Mozilla 2.0 or GPLv3. We believe our suite of

purpose: the licence suite has been designed to apply to
hardware, and also to software which has been embedded in,
and used in conjunction with, hardware. However, it is also
capable of being used as a general purpose open source
software licence, and the weak copyleft variant can be used
to provide a licensing environment to allow for a software
component which itself is subject to copyleft (i.e. any
derivative works must be released under the same licence),
but may contain components or libraries which are under a
different licence, so long as interfacing information is
made available. This in some ways complements the effect of
LGPL (which allows works which contain software licensed
under it to be licensed under a different licence) by
allowing a work under CERN-OHL-W to contain components which
are licensed under different licences. We believe no open
source software licence currently approved by OSI has this
effect (potentially useful for new technologies like
containers), but in any event, this is not an attribute
included by design for software. Please note that
organisations such as IEEE recognise that software may be
licensed under the CERN-OHL: <a

licences are not primarily drafted to cover software, we
maintain that they have a valid use-case for software,
particularly for firmware which is embedded in a hardware
device released under a variant of the CERN-OHL. There are
organisations which (wisely) limit their use of open source
licences to those which have been approved by OSI, and the
CERN-OHL is currently precluded from adoption from such
organisations, unless we can convince them to amend their
licence acceptance criteria to either add CERN-OHL as an
exception, or to recognise that the restriction only applies
to software as such. However, the latter approach would
prevent them from using the CERN-OHL in relation to
software, which could lead to devices which are currently
licensed as a whole (including firmware) under a single
licence, from having to be licensed under separate licences
for the hardware and the software. </font></div>

licences is to get out of the way of collaboration, enable
people to stop worrying about licensing issues and get on

<pre class="">CERN Open Hardware Licence Version 2 - Strongly Reciprocal
Preamble
CERN has developed this licence to promote collaboration among
hardware designers and to provide a legal tool which supports the
freedom to use, study, modify, share and distribute hardware designs
and products based on those designs. Version 2 of the CERN Open
Hardware Licence comes in three variants: CERN-OHL-P (permissive); and
two reciprocal licences: CERN-OHL-W (weakly reciprocal) and this
licence, CERN-OHL-S (strongly reciprocal).
The CERN-OHL-S 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-S.
1.2 'Compatible Licence' means
a) any earlier version of the CERN Open Hardware licence, or
b) any version of the CERN-OHL-S, or
c) any licence which permits You to treat the Source to which
it applies as licensed under CERN-OHL-S provided that on
Conveyance of any such Source, or any associated Product You
treat the Source in question as being licensed under
CERN-OHL-S.
1.3 '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.
1.4 'Covered Source' means Source that is explicitly made available
under this Licence.
1.5 '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.
1.6 'Make' means to create or configure something, whether by
manufacture, assembly, compiling, loading or applying Covered
Source or another Product or otherwise.
1.7 'Available Component' means any part, sub-assembly, library or
code which:
a) is licensed to You as Complete Source under a Compatible
Licence; or
b) is available, at the time a Product or the Source containing
it is first Conveyed, to You and any other prospective
licensees
i) as a physical part with sufficient rights and
information (including any configuration and
programming files and information about its
characteristics and interfaces) to enable it either to
be Made itself, or to be sourced and used to Make the
Product; or
ii) as part of the normal distribution of a tool used to
design or Make the Product.
1.8 'Complete Source' means the set of all Source necessary to Make
a Product, in the preferred form for making modifications,
including necessary installation and interfacing information
both for the Product, and for any included Available Components.
If the format is proprietary, it must also be made available in
a format (if the proprietary tool can create it) which is
viewable with a tool available to potential licensees and
licensed under a licence approved by the Free Software
Foundation or the Open Source Initiative. Complete Source need
not include the Source of any Available Component, provided that
You include in the Complete Source sufficient information to
enable a recipient to Make or source and use the Available
Component to Make the Product.
1.9 'Source Location' means a location where a Licensor has placed
Covered Source, and which that Licensor reasonably believes will
remain easily accessible for at least three years for anyone to
obtain a digital copy.
1.10 'Notice' means copyright, acknowledgement and trademark notices,
Source Location references, 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.
1.11 'Licensee' or 'You' means any person exercising rights under
this Licence.
1.12 'Licensor' means a natural or legal person who creates or
modifies Covered Source. A person may be a Licensee and a
Licensor at the same time.
1.13 'Convey' means to communicate to the public or distribute.
2 Applicability
2.1 This Licence governs the use, copying, modification, Conveying
of Covered Source and Products, and the Making of Products. By
exercising any right granted under this Licence, You irrevocably
accept these terms and conditions.
2.2 This Licence is granted by the Licensor directly to You, and
shall apply worldwide and without limitation in time.
2.3 You shall not attempt to restrict by contract or otherwise the
rights granted under this Licence to other Licensees.
2.4 This Licence is not intended to restrict fair use, fair dealing,
or any other similar right.
3 Copying, modifying and Conveying Covered Source
3.1 You may copy and Convey verbatim copies of Covered Source, in
any medium, provided You retain all Notices.
3.2 You may modify Covered Source, other than Notices, provided that
You irrevocably undertake to make that modified Covered Source
available from a Source Location should You Convey a Product in
circumstances where the recipient does not otherwise receive a
copy of the modified Covered Source. In each case subsection 3.3
shall apply.
You may only delete Notices if they are no longer applicable to
the corresponding Covered Source as modified by You and You may
add additional Notices applicable to Your modifications.
Including Covered Source in a larger work is modifying the
Covered Source, and the larger work becomes modified Covered
Source.
3.3 You may Convey modified Covered Source (with the effect that You
shall also become a Licensor) provided that You:
a) retain Notices as required in subsection 3.2;
b) add a Notice to the modified Covered Source stating that You
have modified it, with the date and brief description of how
You have modified it;
c) add a Source Location Notice for the modified Covered Source
if You Convey in circumstances where the recipient does not
otherwise receive a copy of the modified Covered Source; and
d) license the modified Covered Source under the terms and
conditions of this Licence (or, as set out in subsection
8.3, a later version, if permitted by the licence of the
original Covered Source). Such modified Covered Source must
be licensed as a whole, but excluding Available Components
contained in it, which remain licensed under their own
applicable licences.
4 Making and Conveying Products
You may Make Products, and/or Convey them, provided that You either
provide each recipient with a copy of the Complete Source or ensure
that each recipient is notified of the Source Location of the Complete
Source. That Complete Source is Covered Source, and You must
accordingly satisfy Your obligations set out in subsection 3.3. If
specified in a Notice, the Product must visibly and securely display
the Source Location on it or its packaging or documentation in the
manner specified in that Notice.
5 Research and Development
You may Convey Covered Source, modified Covered Source or Products to
a legal entity carrying out development, testing or quality assurance
work on Your behalf provided that the work is performed on terms which
prevent the entity from both using the Source or Products for its own
internal purposes and Conveying the Source or Products or any
modifications to them to any person other than You. Any modifications
made by the entity shall be deemed to be made by You pursuant to
subsection 3.2.
6 DISCLAIMER AND LIABILITY
6.1 DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY -- The Covered Source and any Products
are provided 'as is' and any express or implied warranties,
including, but not limited to, implied warranties of
merchantability, of satisfactory quality, non-infringement of
third party rights, and fitness for a particular purpose or use
are disclaimed in respect of any Source or Product to the
maximum extent permitted by law. 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.
6.2 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.
7 Patents
7.1 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 subsections 7.2 and 8.4) patent license 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.
7.2 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.
8 General
8.1 If any provisions of this Licence are or subsequently become
invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining
provisions shall remain effective.
8.2 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.
8.3 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.
8.4 This Licence shall terminate with immediate effect if You fail
to comply with any of its terms and conditions.
8.5 However, if You cease all breaches of this Licence, then Your
Licence from any Licensor is reinstated unless such Licensor has
terminated this Licence by giving You, while You remain in
breach, a notice specifying the breach and requiring You to cure
it within 30 days, and You have failed to come into compliance
in all material respects by the end of the 30 day period. Should
You repeat the breach after receipt of a cure notice and
subsequent reinstatement, this Licence will terminate
immediately and permanently. Section 6 shall continue to apply
after any termination.
8.6 This Licence shall not be enforceable except by a Licensor
acting as such, and third party beneficiary rights are
specifically excluded.</pre>

<pre class=""><pre class="">CERN Open Hardware Licence Version 2 - Weakly Reciprocal
Preamble
CERN has developed this licence to promote collaboration among
hardware designers and to provide a legal tool which supports the
freedom to use, study, modify, share and distribute hardware designs
and products based on those designs. Version 2 of the CERN Open
Hardware Licence comes in three variants: CERN-OHL-P (permissive); and
two reciprocal licences: this licence, CERN- OHL-W (weakly reciprocal)
and CERN-OHL-S (strongly reciprocal).
The CERN-OHL-W 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.

under this Licence.
1.5 '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.
1.6 'Make' means to create or configure something, whether by
manufacture, assembly, compiling, loading or applying Covered
Source or another Product or otherwise.
1.7 'Available Component' means any part, sub-assembly, library or
code which:
a) is licensed to You as Complete Source under a Compatible
Licence; or
b) is available, at the time a Product or the Source containing
it is first Conveyed, to You and any other prospective
licensees
i) with sufficient rights and information (including any
configuration and programming files and information
about its characteristics and interfaces) to enable it
either to be Made itself, or to be sourced and used to
Make the Product; or
ii) as part of the normal distribution of a tool used to
design or Make the Product.
1.8 'External Material' means anything (including Source) which:
a) is only combined with Covered Source in such a way that it
interfaces with the Covered Source using a documented
interface which is described in the Covered Source; and
b) is not a derivative of or contains Covered Source, or, if it
is, it is solely to the extent necessary to facilitate such
interfacing.
1.9 'Complete Source' means the set of all Source necessary to Make
a Product, in the preferred form for making modifications,
including necessary installation and interfacing information
both for the Product, and for any included Available Components.
If the format is proprietary, it must also be made available in
a format (if the proprietary tool can create it) which is
viewable with a tool available to potential licensees and
licensed under a licence approved by the Free Software
Foundation or the Open Source Initiative. Complete Source need
not include the Source of any Available Component, provided that
You include in the Complete Source sufficient information to
enable a recipient to Make or source and use the Available
Component to Make the Product.
1.10 'Source Location' means a location where a Licensor has placed
Covered Source, and which that Licensor reasonably believes will
remain easily accessible for at least three years for anyone to
obtain a digital copy.
1.11 'Notice' means copyright, acknowledgement and trademark notices,
Source Location references, 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.
1.12 'Licensee' or 'You' means any person exercising rights under
this Licence.
1.13 'Licensor' means a natural or legal person who creates or
