Subject: [oc] GPLv3 usable for open HW
hi everybodyi know that the cores mailinglist is not the best place for this
discussion but on opencores there is no better list and any other
place/project on the net is more or less sleeping (the license
disussion on opencollectors.org is death since 3 years...)
i'm working on a new fpga integrator board (small board for development
and to be integrated into the final product). in these context i gone
through all the licenses published on opensource.org last week to find
one that is usable for open/free hardware, like schematics, pcb files
and production data.
it was a bit frustrating, because all these software guys only thing
about software and none of theme thinks beyond one's own nose :-)
the traditional way is to use the creative commons license for these
things i want to license. during my search i realised that the new
GPLv3 is now usable "for software and any other work".
my idea is now to use the (L)GPLv3 for my whole board, from schematic to
the board support software.
my question now and the reason why i write here is:
have i understood the new GPLv3 right? is it realy so general applicable
as i think?
it would be nice to have a short discussion about these with people who
read some parts of the new (L)GPLv3.
greetings
