With the expansion of rights licensed expanding to include database
rights, I'd like to propose also adding other sui generis rights,
specifically semiconductor mask rights and design rights. These were
both recently added to a modified version of the Apache license to come
up with the Solderpad Open License [1].

1. http://solderpad.org/licenses/SHL-0.51/

GPLv3 also mentions rights other than copyright:

"""
“Copyright” also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of works, such as semiconductor masks.
"""

As with database rights, these vary around the world.
