From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Julius Baxter Date: Wed, 4 Aug 2021 13:50:44 +1000 Subject: [OpenRISC] mor1kx licensing Message-ID: List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: openrisc@lists.librecores.org 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.
