FPGA Based IBM-PC-XT

Looks nice, but there's no license. Can't do a thing with this.

Marvel and enjoy.

Jesus christ, must everything be transactional?

Thats an oversight on my part, I should put a license on it. I would love for anyone to be able to build one or tinker with the code as they want to. After all I was only able to make this because others shared their projects that I could learn from.

If you like this kind of thing and might ever possibly make something even remotely or partly similar of your own (because you like this kind of thing remember, meaning, a lot of the same people as the ones who would be interested in reading the blog in the first place, such as yourself and myself), technically you have to be careful that you never even looked at this without a license that declares explicitly what the terms are.

Without any declared license the default is full restrictive rights to the author/artist/creator.

That is how literally true it is to say "can't do anything with this" they can't even view it.

Let alone actually download a copy, let alone build it, let alone modify it, let alone redistribute their modified version...

I don't know what this "transactional" accusation is supposed to even mean, but the need for a license is completely reasonable and not asking for anything.

My own "jesus" question: Jesus do you do any sort of work in either software or hardware without knowing this?

I would suggest CC-BY-SA

You can do this by doing as little as making a single file named LICENSE in the top level directory, with a single line:

    This work is licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0. To view a copy of this license, visit https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0

That's it.

It is the hardware/artwork spritual equivalent of GPL2. It means the user must not remove your name, must make source/plans available, and commercial activity is ok.

Just a suggestion if you don't know where to begin or what to do, hadn't really thought about it or read up on all the infinite options etc.

Thanks for the suggestion, I've added this license to the project.

Thank you so much for this. The sheer amount of work, skills and knowledge you put into getting this to boot and operate is fantastic. And I think everyone here agrees that you did this in the best way: by using a real CPU. Really appreciate you sharing this with us.

This license is, AIUI, OSH compliant.

Awesome. Thank you for releasing your work as open hardware.
