+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 ʼLicenceʼ means this CERN-OHL-S.
+       + 1.2 ʼCompatible Licenceʼ means
+            o a) any earlier version of the CERN Open Hardware licence,
+              or
+            o b) any version of the CERN-OHL-S, or
+            o 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 ʼSourceʼ 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 ʼCovered Sourceʼ means Source that is explicitly made
+         available under this Licence.
+       + 1.5 ʼProductʼ 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 ʼMakeʼ means to create or configure something, whether by
+         manufacture, assembly, compiling, loading or applying Covered
+         Source or another Product or otherwise.
+       + 1.7 ʼAvailable Componentʼ means any part, sub-assembly,
+         library or code which:
+            o a) is licensed to You as Complete Source under a
+              Compatible Licence; or
+            o 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 ʼComplete Sourceʼ 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 ʼSource Locationʼ 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 ʼNoticeʼ 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 ʼLicenseeʼ or ʼYouʼ means any person exercising rights
+         under this Licence.
+       + 1.12 ʼLicensorʼ 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 ʼConveyʼ 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:
+            o a) retain Notices as required in subsection 3.2;
+            o 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;
+            o 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
+            o 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 ʼas isʼ 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.
