Ah. Got it.
Sounds like you've got it sorted.
I was focusing on the ASIC design stuff, but it would be interesting
if the license actually could be extended to other venues, such as
diagrams for a machinist, or the files that would go along with
one of those 3D printers, and similar things that translate into
physical objects that no longer qualify as copyright derivatives.
Keep me posted.
