BERI HARDWARE-SOFTWARE LICENSE v1.0
|
|
|
|
This license is based closely on the Apache License Version 2.0, but is
|
|
not approved or endorsed by the Apache Foundation. Changes primarily
|
|
relate to broadening the set of rights covered by the license from simple
|
|
copyright to other hardware-related rights such as board layouts and CAD
|
|
files. A copy of the non-modified Apache License 2.0 can be found at
|
|
http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0
|
|
|
|
As this license is not currently OSI or FSF approved, the Licensor
|
|
permits any Work licensed under this License, at the option of the
|
|
Licensee, to be treated as licensed under the Apache License Version 2.0
|
|
(which is so approved).
|
|
|
|
This License is licensed under the terms of this License and in
|
|
particular clause 7 below (Disclaimer of Warranties) applies in relation
|
|
to its use.
|
|
|
|
|
|
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE, REPRODUCTION, AND DISTRIBUTION
|
|
|
|
1. Definitions.

"Licensor" shall mean the Rights owner or entity authorized by
|
|
the Rights owner that is granting the License.
|
|
|
|
"Legal Entity" shall mean the union of the acting entity and all
|
|
other entities that control, are controlled by, or are under common
|
|
control with that entity. For the purposes of this definition,
|
|
"control" means (i) the power, direct or indirect, to cause the
|
|
direction or management of such entity, whether by contract or
|
|
otherwise, or (ii) ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the
|

"You" (or "Your") shall mean an individual or Legal Entity
|
|
exercising permissions granted by this License.
|
|
|
|
"Rights" means copyright and any similar right including design right
|
|
(whether registered or unregistered), semiconductor topography (mask)
|
|
rights and database rights (but excluding Patents and Trademarks).
|
|
|
|
"Source" form shall mean the preferred form for making modifications,
|
|
including but not limited to source code, net lists, board layouts,
|
|
CAD files, documentation source, and configuration files.
|
|
|
|
"Object" form shall mean any form resulting from mechanical
|
|
transformation or translation of a Source form, including but not
|
|
limited to compiled object code, generated documentation, the
|
|
instantiation of a hardware design and conversions to other media
|
|
types, including intermediate forms such as bytecodes, FPGA
|
|
bitstreams, artwork and semiconductor topographies (mask works).
|
|
|
|
"Work" shall mean the work of authorship, whether in Source form or
|
|
other Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a
|
|
Rights notice that is included in or attached to the work (an example
|
|
is provided in the Appendix below).
|
|
|
|
"Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
|
|
form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
|
|
editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
|
|
represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the
|
|
purposes of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works
|
|
that remain separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) or
|
|
physically connect to or interoperate with the interfaces of, the Work
|
|
and Derivative Works thereof.
|
|
|
|
"Contribution" shall mean any design or work of authorship, including
|
|
the original version of the Work and any modifications or additions
|
|
to that Work or Derivative Works thereof, that is intentionally
|
|
submitted to Licensor for inclusion in the Work by the Rights owner
|
|
or by an individual or Legal Entity authorized to submit on behalf of
|
|
the Rights owner. For the purposes of this definition, "submitted"
|
|
means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent
|
|
to the Licensor or its representatives, including but not limited to
|
|
communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems,
|
|
and issue tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf of, the
|
|
Licensor for the purpose of discussing and improving the Work, but
|
|
excluding communication that is conspicuously marked or otherwise
|
|
designated in writing by the Rights owner as "Not a Contribution."
|
|
|
|
"Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity
|
|
on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and
|
|
subsequently incorporated within the Work.
|
|
|
|
2. Grant of License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License,
|
|
each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual, worldwide,
|
|
non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable license under the
|
|
Rights to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of, publicly display,
|
|
publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the Work and such
|
|
Derivative Works in Source or Object form and do anything in relation
|
|
to the Work as if the Rights did not exist.
|
|
|
|
3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
|
|
this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
|
|
worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
|
|
(except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
|
|
use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
|
|
where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
|
|
by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
|
|
Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
|
|
with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
|
|
institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
|
|
cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
|
|
or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
|
|
or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
|
|
granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
|
|
as of the date such litigation is filed.
|
|
|
|
4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
|
|
Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
|
|
modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
|
|
meet the following conditions:
|
|
|
|
(a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
|
|
Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
|
|
|
|
(b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
|
|
stating that You changed the files; and
|
|
|
|
(c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
|
|
that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
|
|
attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
|
|
excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
|
|
the Derivative Works; and
|
|
|
|
(d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
|
|
distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
|
|
include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
|
|
within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
|
|
pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
|
|
of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
|
|
as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
|
|
documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
|
|
within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
|
|
wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
|
|
of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
|
|
do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
|
|
notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
|
|
or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
|
|
that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
|
|
as modifying the License.
|
|
|
|
You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
|
|
may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
|
|
for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
|
|
for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
|
|
reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
|
|
the conditions stated in this License.
|
|
|
|
5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
|
|
any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
|
|
by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
|
|
this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
|
|
Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
|
|
the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
|
|
with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
|
|
|
|
6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
|
|
names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
|
|
except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
|
|
origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
|
|
|
|
7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
|
|
agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
|
|
Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
|
|
WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
|
|
implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
|
|
of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
|
|
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
|
|
appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
|
|
risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
|
|
|
|
8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
|
|
whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
|
|
unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
|
|
negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
|
|
liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
|
|
incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
|
|
result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
|
|
Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
|
|
work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
|
|
other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
|
|
has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
|
|
|
|
9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
|
|
the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
|
|
and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
|
|
or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
|
|
License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
|
|
on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
|
|
of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
|
|
defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
|
|
incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
|
|
of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
|
|
