text: "BERI HARDWARE-SOFTWARE LICENSE v1.0\n\n   This license is based closely on the Apache\
  \ License Version 2.0, but is\n   not approved or endorsed by the Apache Foundation.  Changes\
  \ primarily\n   relate to broadening the set of rights covered by the license from simple\n\
  \   copyright to other hardware-related rights such as board layouts and CAD\n   files.  A\
  \ copy of the non-modified Apache License 2.0 can be found at\n   http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0\n\
  \   \n   As this license is not currently OSI or FSF approved, the Licensor\n   permits any\
  \ Work licensed under this License, at the option of the\n   Licensee, to be treated as licensed\
  \ under the Apache License Version 2.0\n   (which is so approved).\n   \n   This License is\
  \ licensed under the terms of this License and in\n   particular clause 7 below (Disclaimer\
  \ of Warranties) applies in relation\n   to its use.\n   \n   \n   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR\
  \ USE, REPRODUCTION, AND DISTRIBUTION\n\n   1. Definitions.\n\n      \"License\" shall mean\

  \ the License, as indicated by a\n      Rights notice that is included in or attached to the\
  \ work (an example\n      is provided in the Appendix below).\n\n      \"Derivative Works\"\
  \ shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object\n      form, that is based on (or derived\
  \ from) the Work and for which the\n      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations,\
  \ or other modifications\n      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship.  For\
  \ the\n      purposes of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works\n      that\
  \ remain separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) or\n      physically connect to\
  \ or interoperate with the interfaces of, the Work\n      and Derivative Works thereof.\n\n\
  \      \"Contribution\" shall mean any design or work of authorship, including\n      the\
  \ original version of the Work and any modifications or additions\n      to that Work or Derivative\

  \ in writing by the Rights owner as \"Not a Contribution.\"\n\n      \"Contributor\" shall\
  \ mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity\n      on behalf of whom a Contribution\
  \ has been received by Licensor and\n      subsequently incorporated within the Work.\n\n\
  \   2. Grant of License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License,\n      each\
  \ Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual, worldwide,\n      non-exclusive, no-charge,\
  \ royalty-free, irrevocable license under the\n      Rights to reproduce, prepare Derivative\
  \ Works of, publicly display,\n      publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the Work\
  \ and such\n      Derivative Works in Source or Object form and do anything in relation\n\
  \      to the Work as if the Rights did not exist.\n\n   3. Grant of Patent License. Subject\
  \ to the terms and conditions of\n      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You\
  \ a perpetual,\n      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable\n   \
  \   (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,\n      use, offer\
  \ to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,\n      where such license applies\
  \ only to those patent claims licensable\n      by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed\
  \ by their\n      Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)\n     \
  \ with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You\n      institute patent\
  \ litigation against any entity (including a\n      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit)\
  \ alleging that the Work\n      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes\
  \ direct\n      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses\n      granted\
  \ to You under this License for that Work shall terminate\n      as of the date such litigation\
  \ is filed.\n\n   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the\n    \
  \  Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without\n      modifications, and\
  \ in Source or Object form, provided that You\n      meet the following conditions:\n\n  \
  \    (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or\n          Derivative Works a copy\
  \ of this License; and\n\n      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices\n\
  \          stating that You changed the files; and\n\n      (c) You must retain, in the Source\
  \ form of any Derivative Works\n          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark,\
  \ and\n          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,\n          excluding\
  \ those notices that do not pertain to any part of\n          the Derivative Works; and\n\n\
  \      (d) If the Work includes a \"NOTICE\" text file as part of its\n          distribution,\
  \ then any Derivative Works that You distribute must\n          include a readable copy of\
  \ the attribution notices contained\n          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices\
  \ that do not\n          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one\n  \
  \        of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed\n          as part\
  \ of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or\n          documentation, if provided\
  \ along with the Derivative Works; or,\n          within a display generated by the Derivative\
  \ Works, if and\n          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents\n\
  \          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and\n          do not modify\
  \ the License. You may add Your own attribution\n          notices within Derivative Works\
  \ that You distribute, alongside\n          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the\
  \ Work, provided\n          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed\n\
  \          as modifying the License.\n\n      You may add Your own copyright statement to\
  \ Your modifications and\n      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions\n\
  \      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or\n      for any such\
  \ Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,\n      reproduction, and distribution of\
  \ the Work otherwise complies with\n      the conditions stated in this License.\n\n   5.\
  \ Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,\n      any Contribution\
  \ intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work\n      by You to the Licensor shall be\
  \ under the terms and conditions of\n      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.\n\
  \      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify\n      the terms\
  \ of any separate license agreement you may have executed\n      with Licensor regarding such\
  \ Contributions.\n\n   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade\n\
  \      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,\n      except as\
  \ required for reasonable and customary use in describing the\n      origin of the Work and\
  \ reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.\n\n   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required\
  \ by applicable law or\n      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each\n\
  \      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an \"AS IS\" BASIS,\n      WITHOUT WARRANTIES\
  \ OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or\n      implied, including, without limitation,\
  \ any warranties or conditions\n      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS\
  \ FOR A\n      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the\n      appropriateness\
  \ of using or redistributing the Work and assume any\n      risks associated with Your exercise\
  \ of permissions under this License.\n\n   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under\
  \ no legal theory,\n      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,\n\
  \      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly\n      negligent\
  \ acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be\n      liable to You for damages,\
  \ including any direct, indirect, special,\n      incidental, or consequential damages of\
  \ any character arising as a\n      result of this License or out of the use or inability\
  \ to use the\n      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,\n   \
  \   work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all\n      other commercial\
  \ damages or losses), even if such Contributor\n      has been advised of the possibility\
  \ of such damages.\n\n   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing\n\
  \      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,\n      and charge a\
  \ fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,\n      or other liability obligations\
  \ and/or rights consistent with this\n      License. However, in accepting such obligations,\
  \ You may act only\n      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf\n\
  \      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,\n      defend, and hold\
  \ each Contributor harmless for any liability\n      incurred by, or claims asserted against,\
  \ such Contributor by reason\n      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.\n\
