\subsection{A Note on Components}
\label{subsec:note-components}
If your design is modular, it may well be helpful to consider licensing each of
If your design is modular, consider licensing each of
the components you have designed separately, and then having an overarching
design, also licensed under an appropriate variant of CERN-OHL which contains
the each of the sub-components.
Why? It will make life easier for licensees who only want to make use of one
the each of the sub-components. This will
make life easier for licensees who only want to make use of one
component of
your design: they will not have to extract the relevant component from your
design and then work out which parts of Notices they are allowed to delete.
You may also want to attach different notice requirements to different
components. For example, if you have a processor and a power supply in your
design, you may want to ensure that the source location for the design files
for the processor are printed on the outside casing of anything using the
processor,but you are less concerned about this when people use the design for
the power
supply. Or, to take a more extreme example, you may want to license the design
for a hydraulic press, and you also include your recipe for hydraulic fluid.
Both can be incorporated into the same design, but it becomes very difficult to
see how a general obligation in the notice file to place the source location
URL on the press can be followed if a licensee only wants to manufacture and
use the hydraulic fluid. This issue can be addressed if the hydraulic fluid is
licensed separately, and there is either has no NOTICE obligation to place the
url on the design, or simply one to place it on the first container in which
the fluid is shipped.

Generally speaking, you must always comply with any obligations applying to a
particular design (detailed in a contract or accompanying licence). If you
receive hardware designs licensed under the CERN-OHL-S v2, the obligations are
