Why OHL version 2

OHL v1.2 is working well for HW designs like

PCB, mechanical designs...

More difficult to apply to HDL, FPGA, ASIC...

– Can closed-source IP cores be used ?

Writing exceptions makes the license more

complex.

– We want a text that is legally strong. – We want a text that can be understood.

Still drafting
We’d like to finalize the licence

Does the CERN OHL v2 fit your domain ?
Would you use it ?
Is the wording clear enough ?
