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 licence 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. + + You may treat Covered Source licensed under CERN-OHL-W as licensed under + CERN-OHL-S if and only if all Available Components referenced in the + Covered Source comply with the corresponding definition of Available + Component for CERN-OHL-S. + + 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.
