Description

The [FAQ](https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/FAQ#toc3) indicates the design files are licensed under a CC-BY-SA license. However, when I go to [a product page](https://store.arduino.cc/usa/arduino-due) I can download the schematic files but there is no indication of license or license terms there, nor have I been able to find anywhere saying which ***specific*** license the files are under and I am left not knowing which license I would need to adhere to.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked FAQ and Arduino Due product page, then identify where the specific open-hardware license and file availability should be documented. Done means the relevant documentation clearly names the license terms and tells users where the design files are available.
