	~~We provide a 100 USD GPL discount on Elphel hardware to any company / developer who does GNU/GPL development with our camera. This development may be:~~

	- a ~~software running~~ on ~~camera's GNU/Linux~~		We provide a varying percentage (exact amount depends on the project) GPL discount on Elphel hardware to any company / developer who publishes valuable GNU/GPL development with our camera.
	~~- a FPGA code~~
	~~- a PC software running~~ on ~~different platform (Window~~/~~Linux~~/~~OS X) to work~~ with our camera
	~~- a hardware development~~

	Elphel agrees to discount the price of Elphel Camera, Model NC353L, for those who plan to develop software code that will run in the Elphel cameras or with them (on a client computer) and the code will be ~~released under GNU/GPL or compatible license. Even modified software in the cameras will have to run with GNU/Linux as it is the only software provided for the Axis CPU by the manufacturer.~~		This development may be:

			*Software running on camera's GNU/Linux
			*FPGA code
			*PC software running on different platform (Window/Linux/OS X) interfacing with our camera
			*hardware development<br>

	~~As your device will run GNU/Linux you will need~~ to ~~provide~~ the ~~source~~ code ~~of at least~~ that ~~part of~~ the ~~software~~ on the ~~terms described in the~~ license. ~~Same applies to all of the~~ software ~~that you preserved~~ in the cameras "as is~~" or modified from~~ the ~~Elphel firmware or any third party~~ software ~~that you obtained with~~ the ~~GNU GPL license~~.		Elphel agrees to discount the price of Elphel Camera, Model NC353L, for those who plan to develop software code that will run in the Elphel cameras or with them (on a client computer) and the code will be released under GNU/GPL or compatible license.

Same applies to all of the software that you preserved in the cameras "as is" or modified from the Elphel firmware or any third party software that you obtained with the GNU GPL license.

	You will also have to provide the source code of the FPGA - original developed by Elphel or possibly your amended version if you used any part of the original one. Forgive us for being suspicious if you claim that you completely rewrote the code and haven't used a single line of the one you received with the camera from Elphel - FPGA code of our products makes a significant part of the value of the cameras and while it is easier to replace it than the GNU/Linux part of the firmware - we believe it is still far from an easy task.		<br> You will also have to provide the source code of the FPGA - original developed by Elphel or possibly your amended version if you used any part of the original one.
