|
---|
9 | 1 DEFINITIONS
|
---|
10 |
|
---|
11 | 1.1 "OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT" shall mean OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT Software GmbH,
|
---|
12 | Grosse Schiffgasse 1A/7, 1020 Wien, AUSTRIA.
|
---|
13 |
|
---|
14 | 1.2 "You" shall mean the Licensee.
|
---|
15 |
|
---|
16 | 1.3 "V-USB" shall mean all files included in the package distributed under
|
---|
17 | the name "vusb" by OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT (http://www.obdev.at/vusb/)
|
---|
18 | unless otherwise noted. This includes the firmware-only USB device
|
---|
19 | implementation for Atmel AVR microcontrollers, some simple device examples
|
---|
20 | and host side software examples and libraries.
|
---|
21 |
|
---|
22 |
|
---|
23 | 2 LICENSE GRANTS
|
---|
24 |
|
---|
25 | 2.1 Source Code. OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT shall furnish you with the source
|
---|
26 | code of V-USB.
|
---|
27 |
|
---|
28 | 2.2 Distribution and Use. OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT grants you the
|
---|
29 | non-exclusive right to use, copy and distribute V-USB with your hardware
|
---|
30 | product(s), restricted by the limitations in section 3 below.
|
---|
31 |
|
---|
32 | 2.3 Modifications. OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT grants you the right to modify
|
---|
33 | the source code and your copy of V-USB according to your needs.
|
---|
34 |
|
---|
35 | 2.4 USB IDs. OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT furnishes you with one or two USB
|
---|
36 | Product ID(s), sent to you in e-mail. These Product IDs are reserved
|
---|
37 | exclusively for you. OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT has obtained USB Product ID
|
---|
38 | ranges under the Vendor ID 5824 from Wouter van Ooijen (Van Ooijen
|
---|
39 | Technische Informatica, www.voti.nl) and under the Vendor ID 8352 from
|
---|
40 | Jason Kotzin (Clay Logic, www.claylogic.com). Both owners of the Vendor IDs
|
---|
41 | have obtained these IDs from the USB Implementers Forum, Inc.
|
---|
42 | (www.usb.org). OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT disclaims all liability which might
|
---|
43 | arise from the assignment of USB IDs.
|
---|
44 |
|
---|
45 | 2.5 USB Certification. Although not part of this agreement, we want to make
|
---|
46 | it clear that you cannot become USB certified when you use V-USB or a USB
|
---|
47 | Product ID assigned by OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT. AVR microcontrollers don't
|
---|
48 | meet the electrical specifications required by the USB specification and
|
---|
49 | the USB Implementers Forum certifies only members who bought a Vendor ID of
|
---|
50 | their own.
|
---|
51 |
|
---|
52 |
|
---|
53 | 3 LICENSE RESTRICTIONS
|
---|
54 |
|
---|
55 | 3.1 Number of Units. Only one of the following three definitions is
|
---|
56 | applicable. Which one is determined by the amount you pay to OBJECTIVE
|
---|
57 | DEVELOPMENT, see section 4 ("Payment") below.
|
---|
58 |
|
---|
59 | Hobby License: You may use V-USB according to section 2 above in no more
|
---|
60 | than 5 hardware units. These units must not be sold for profit.
|
---|
61 |
|
---|
62 | Entry Level License: You may use V-USB according to section 2 above in no
|
---|
63 | more than 150 hardware units.
|
---|
64 |
|
---|
65 | Professional License: You may use V-USB according to section 2 above in
|
---|
66 | any number of hardware units, except for large scale production ("unlimited
|
---|
67 | fair use"). Quantities below 10,000 units are not considered large scale
|
---|
68 | production. If your reach quantities which are obviously large scale
|
---|
69 | production, you must pay a license fee of 0.10 EUR per unit for all units
|
---|
70 | above 10,000.
|
---|
71 |
|
---|
72 | 3.2 Rental. You may not rent, lease, or lend V-USB or otherwise encumber
|
---|
73 | any copy of V-USB, or any of the rights granted herein.
|
---|
74 |
|
---|
75 | 3.3 Transfer. You may not transfer your rights under this Agreement to
|
---|
76 | another party without OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT's prior written consent. If
|
---|
77 | such consent is obtained, you may permanently transfer this License to
|
---|
78 | another party. The recipient of such transfer must agree to all terms and
|
---|
79 | conditions of this Agreement.
|
---|
80 |
|
---|
81 | 3.4 Reservation of Rights. OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT retains all rights not
|
---|
82 | expressly granted.
|
---|
83 |
|
---|
84 | 3.5 Non-Exclusive Rights. Your license rights under this Agreement are
|
---|
85 | non-exclusive.
|
---|
86 |
|
---|
87 | 3.6 Third Party Rights. This Agreement cannot grant you rights controlled
|
---|
88 | by third parties. In particular, you are not allowed to use the USB logo or
|
---|
89 | other trademarks owned by the USB Implementers Forum, Inc. without their
|
---|
90 | consent. Since such consent depends on USB certification, it should be
|
---|
91 | noted that V-USB will not pass certification because it does not
|
---|
92 | implement checksum verification and the microcontroller ports do not meet
|
---|
93 | the electrical specifications.
|
---|
94 |
|
---|
95 |
|
---|
96 | 4 PAYMENT
|
---|
97 |
|
---|

|
---|
99 | section 3.1) into which you want to enter. Concrete prices are listed on
|
---|
100 | OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT's web site, usually at
|
---|

|
---|
102 | there to OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT or OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT's payment processor
|
---|
