The AirShip Technologies Group “Open Technology Innovation Manufacturing License” applies to the distribution terms of this open technology and must comply with the following open license criteria:
1. Conditional Redistribution. The license shall not restrict participating sponsors from freely using and branding the AirShip as an aggregate product distribution containing vehicle design, components, hardware, software and functionality afforded from different sources. Should participating sponsors decide to end their sponsorship, but produce the AirShip or derivatives based on the AirShip design, then a 4% of value royalty fee per AirShip or AirShip derivative vehicle will be paid to the AirShip Technologies Group. Distribution rights are solely for the originating sponsors unless otherwise agreed by AirShip Technologies Group.
2. Source Product. The sponsorship of the Open Technology Manufacturing Innovation program includes rights to the aggregate source product and assembled components, and allows distribution of the source product. Where some form of a product component is not distributed with the aggregate source product, there will be a publicized means of obtaining the components from the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) for a reasonable reproduction cost.
3. Derived Works. For the contributing sponsors, the license allows modifications and derived works, and allows them to be distributed under the same terms as the license of the original product in #1 above.
4. Integrity of The Sponsor’s Source Product. The license may restrict source-product from being distributed in modified form only if the license allows the distribution of "new model releases" with the source product for the purpose of modifying the product for new release. The license explicitly permits distribution of aggregate product from modified product components. The license requires derived works to carry a different name or version number from the original product.
5. No Discrimination Against Persons or Groups. The license does not discriminate against any companies, person, group of persons, countries or governments desiring to produce the AirShip ground transit vehicle.
6. No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor. The license does not restrict any sponsor from making use of the aggregate AirShip product in a specific field of endeavor or industry. For example, it may not restrict the product from being used for dual purposes such as private sector commercial markets, public sector government, or from being used for military application.
7. Distribution of License. The rights attached to the sponsorship-based open technology product program apply to all to whom the program is redistributed without the need for execution of an additional license by those parties.
8. License Is Not Specific to a Sponsor. The rights attached to the aggregate product license do not depend on the product being part of a particular sponsor. If the aggregate product is from the distribution and used or distributed within the terms of the product’s license, all parties to whom the product license is redistributed shall have the same rights as those that are granted in conjunction with the original product license distribution.
9. License Does Not Restrict Other Product Components. The license does not place restrictions on another product component that is distributed along with the aggregate product license. For example, the license shall not insist that all other component distributors relinquish their intellectual property because their sub-components are used in the aggregate product.
10. License Is Technology-Neutral. No provision of the license is predicated on any individual component product technology such that it interferes with the re-distribution of the aggregate product.
