2
Version 2012-07-09
3
 
4
THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT GRANTS YOU CERTAIN RIGHTS IN A SOFTWARE. YOU CAN
5
ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND ACQUIRE THE RIGHTS OUTLINED BELOW BY PAYING
6
THE AMOUNT ACCORDING TO SECTION 4 ("PAYMENT") TO OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT.

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 (now flirc.tv, Inc.). Both owners of the Vendor IDs have
41
obtained these IDs from the USB Implementers Forum, Inc. (www.usb.org).
42
OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT disclaims all liability which might arise from the
43
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
 
98
The payment amount depends on the variation of this agreement (according to
99
section 3.1) into which you want to enter. Concrete prices are listed on
100
OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT's web site, usually at
101
http://www.obdev.at/vusb/license.html. You agree to pay the amount listed
102
there to OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT or OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT's payment processor
103
or reseller.

106
5 COPYRIGHT AND OWNERSHIP

V-USB is protected by copyright laws and international copyright
109
treaties, as well as other intellectual property laws and treaties. V-USB
110
