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.

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.

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 - - You may only delete Notices if they are no longer applicable to - the corresponding Covered Source as modified by You and You may - add additional Notices applicable to Your modifications.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).

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.
