| 3 | +This license operates as a wraparound license to the Apache License |
| 4 | +Version 2.0 (the “Apache License”) and incorporates the terms and |
| 5 | +conditions of the Apache License(which can be found here: |

| 7 | +and modifications. It must be read in conjunction with the Apache |

| 22 | + to read “Rights owner”. |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +“Copyright statement”: the reference to ‘copyright statement’ shall be |
| 25 | + taken to read ‘copyright or other statement pertaining to Rights’. |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +The following new definition shall be added to the Definitions section |
| 28 | +of the Apache License: |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +“Rights” means copyright and any similar right including design right |
| 31 | + (whether registered or unregistered), rights in semiconductor |
| 32 | + topographies (mask works) and database rights (but excluding Patents |
| 33 | + and Trademarks). |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +The following definitions shall replace the corresponding definitions |
| 36 | +in the Apache License: |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +“License” shall mean this Solderpad Hardware License version 2.1, |
| 39 | + being the terms and conditions for use, manufacture, instantiation, |
| 40 | + adaptation, reproduction, and distribution as defined by Sections 1 |
| 41 | + through 9 of this document. |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +“Licensor” shall mean the owner of the Rights or entity authorized by |

| 48 | + editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other |
| 49 | + modifications represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship |
| 50 | + or design. For the purposes of this License, Derivative Works shall |
| 51 | + not include works that remain reversibly separable from, or merely |
| 52 | + link (or bind by name) or physically connect to or interoperate with |
| 53 | + the Work and Derivative Works thereof. |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +“Object” form shall mean any form resulting from mechanical |
| 56 | + transformation or translation of a Source form or the application of |
| 57 | + a Source form to physical material, including but not limited to |
| 58 | + compiled object code, generated documentation, the instantiation of |
| 59 | + a hardware design or physical object or material and conversions to |
| 60 | + other media types, including intermediate forms such as bytecodes, |
| 61 | + FPGA bitstreams, moulds, artwork and semiconductor topographies |
| 62 | + (mask works). |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +“Source” form shall mean the preferred form for making modifications, |
| 65 | + including but not limited to source code, net lists, board layouts, |
| 66 | + CAD files, documentation source, and configuration files. |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +“Work” shall mean the work of authorship or design, whether in Source |
| 69 | + or Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a |
