+NVIDIA Open NVDLA License and Agreement v1.0
+
+NVIDIA's Deep Learning Accelerator ("NVDLA") is a hardware design that
+accelerates inferencing in System-on-a-Chip designs.  Subject to the terms
+and conditions of this Open NVDLA License and Agreement, NVIDIA offers its
+NVDLA design on a royalty-free, open-source basis, promoting the adoption of
+deep learning inferencing in third-party designs and IoT devices, and
+expanding the overall market for AI.
+
+By exercising the rights granted hereunder, You accept and agree to be bound
+by these terms and conditions.  You are granted the rights hereunder in
+consideration of Your agreement to these terms and conditions.  If You do

+entity, You represent that You have the legal authority to bind the legal
+entity to these terms and conditions.
+
+In consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, You agree as
+follows:
+
+1. DEFINITIONS.
+

+
+"Contributor" shall mean NVIDIA and any owner of a NVDLA Contribution that
+NVIDIA has incorporated within the NVDLA Specification.
+
+"Derivative Work" shall mean any work that is based on (or derived from)
+any portion of the NVDLA Specification. For the purposes of this License,
+Derivative Works shall not include works that remain separable from, or
