Hello fellow mor1kx developers,
I've been meaning to do this for a while, but I'd like to propose we switch
the licence of the mor1kx to the CERN OHL v2, and then I can EOL the OHDL.
There are 3 types of the OHL v2 licence, basically 1) strongly reciprocal,
2) weakly reciprocal, and 3) permissive.
In the spirit of the OHDL the mor1kx is currently licensed under, I'd
suggest we go with the weakly-reciprocal licence, the CERN-OHL-W.
The OHWR site has a nice FAQ describing the difference between these v2
flavours:
https://ohwr.org/project/cernohl/wikis/faq#q-what-are-all-these-suffixes
The idea behind the OHDL was that it'd be file-level copyleft, just like
the MPL (or at least as I interpreted it) it was based on (via m-x
query-replace in Emacs :-P ). I think it'd be good to back the work Javier
and Andrew and Miriam have done with our own work.
I'm copying the OpenRISC list because I guess I want to make sure any
contributor from the past gets a heads up, too.
This is the first time I've done something like this, so am not too
familiar with the process. Should I just do a PR on github and we can
debate it on there?
Anyway, I'm interested in your thoughts. Feel free to contact me off list
if you prefer. Unless anyone objects, I'll do a PR relicensing the IP in
the coming week or so.
Cheers,
Julius

I'm in favor, and I agree that CERN-OHL-W sounds like the right flavor.

I agree as well, CERN-OHL-W sounds right. Also, to do the change a PR
updating all the files headers and the license file would be the way
to do it.
CCing Andrey as well and he did a lot of work on mor1kx FPU and other parts.

Hi Julius,
Not sure I ever contributed anything, but I am happy with this change
and it applying to anything I did.
Best wishes,
Jeremy

I agree for CERN-OHL-W too.

I think this makes a lot of sense and you have my blessing and permission
in case there is anything in the code with my copyright
