CERN Open Hardware Licence

The CERN Open Hardware Licence (OHL or CERN OHL) is a licence used in open-source hardware projects. It was created by CERN, which published version 1.0 in March 2011. Version 1.1 was published in July 2011.[1] Version 1.2[2] was published in September 2013.[3] Version 2.0,[4] which utilizes a simplified language and covers also integrated circuit designs,[5] was published in March 2020.[6]

Wording

Contrary to most licence names, the CERN OHL uses the British English spelling licence rather than the American English spelling license which contains an "s".

Projects using the CERN OHL
The ColorHug2, an open source colorimeter.

On the CERN OHL website they have a list of projects using their licence.[7] These projects include:

Reception

The CERN OHL is an accepted free content licence according to the Free Cultural Works definition[14] and version 2 is approved by the Open Source Initiative.[15]
