description: An experimentation and research friendly open-source license for (Holloway) Chew, Kean Ho product licensing purposes. This license was adopted from the Open Source Initiative's BSD 3 Clauses License as its baseline and applies the following changes:



Changed Software to Product so that the license can be expanded to non-software product licensing usage (e.g. graphics, video, etc) without needing to spin multiple licenses; AND

Added license assignment, ratification, and tenure section to specify when and how is the license applied; AND

Added version controlled clauses for which version shall be in effect by default.


This license was formally known as (Holloway) Chew, Kean Ho BSD 3 Clauses License but was ultimately renamed as such to keep its SPDX identifier consistent with the others.
