LIMITED LICENSE GRANTS

1. License for Evaluation Purposes. Sun hereby grants 
you a fully-paid, non-exclusive, non-transferable, 
worldwide, limited license (without the right to 
sublicense), under Sun's  applicable intellectual 
property rights to view, download, use and reproduce 
the Specification only for the purpose of internal 
evaluation.  This includes (i) developing applications 
intended to run on an implementation of the 
Specification, provided that such applications do not 
themselves implement any portion(s) of the 
Specification, and (ii) discussing the Specification 
with any third party; and (iii) excerpting brief 
portions of the Specification in oral or written 
communications which discuss the Specification 
provided that such excerpts do not in the aggregate 
constitute a significant portion of the Specification.

2. License for the Distribution of Compliant 
Implementations. Sun  also grants you a perpetual, 
non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide, fully 
paid-up, royalty free, limited license (without the 
right to sublicense) under any applicable copyrights 
or, subject to the provisions of subsection 4 below, 
patent rights it may have covering the Specification 
to create and/or distribute an Independent 
Implementation of the Specification that: (a) fully 
implements the Specification including all its 
required interfaces and functionality; (b) does not 
modify, subset, superset or otherwise extend the 
Licensor Name Space, or include any public or 
protected packages, classes, Java interfaces, fields 
or methods within the Licensor Name Space other than 
those required/authorized by the Specification or 
Specifications being implemented; and (c) passes the 
Technology Compatibility Kit (including satisfying the 
requirements of the applicable TCK Users Guide) for 
such Specification ("Compliant Implementation").  In 
addition, the foregoing license is expressly 
conditioned on your not acting outside its scope.  No 
license is granted hereunder for any other purpose 
(including, for example, modifying the Specification, 
other than to the extent of your fair use rights, or 
distributing the Specification to third parties).  
Also, no right, title, or interest in or to any 
trademarks, service marks, or trade names of Sun or

registered trademarks of Sun Microsystems, Inc. in the 
U.S. and other countries.

3. Pass-through Conditions. You need not include 
limitations (a)-(c) from the previous paragraph or any 
other particular "pass through" requirements in any 
license You grant concerning the use of your 
Independent Implementation or products derived from 
it.  However, except with respect to Independent 
Implementations (and products derived from them) that 
satisfy limitations (a)-(c) from the previous 
paragraph, You may neither:  (a) grant or otherwise 
pass through to your licensees any licenses under 
Sun's  applicable intellectual property rights; nor 
(b) authorize your licensees to make any claims 
concerning their implementation's compliance with the 
Specification in question.

4. Reciprocity Concerning Patent Licenses.  

	a.  With respect to any patent claims covered 
by the license granted under subparagraph 2 above that 
would be infringed by all technically feasible 
implementations of the Specification, such license is 
conditioned upon your offering on fair, reasonable and 
non-discriminatory terms, to any party seeking it from 
You, a perpetual, non-exclusive, non-transferable, 
worldwide license under Your patent rights which are 
or would be infringed by all technically feasible 
implementations of the Specification to develop, 
distribute and use a Compliant Implementation.

	b  With respect to any patent claims owned by 
Sun and covered by the license granted under 
subparagraph 2, whether or not their infringement can 
be avoided in a technically feasible manner when 
implementing the Specification, such license shall 
terminate with respect to such claims if You initiate 
a claim against Sun that it has, in the course of 
performing its responsibilities as the Specification 
Lead, induced any other entity to infringe Your patent 
rights.

	c  Also with respect to any patent claims 
owned by Sun and covered by the license granted under 
subparagraph 2 above, where the infringement of such 
claims can be avoided in a technically feasible manner 
when implementing the Specification such license, with 
respect to such claims, shall terminate if You 
initiate a claim against Sun  that its making, having 
made, using, offering to sell, selling or importing a 
Compliant Implementation infringes Your patent rights.

5. Definitions. For the purposes of this Agreement:  
"Independent Implementation" shall mean an 
implementation of the Specification that neither 
derives from any of Sun's  source code or binary code 
materials nor, except with an appropriate and separate 
license from Sun, includes any of Sun's  source code 
or binary code materials; "Licensor Name Space" shall 
mean the public class or interface declarations whose 
names begin with "java", "javax", "com.sun"  or their 
equivalents in any subsequent naming convention 
adopted by Sun  through the Java Community Process, or 
any recognized successors or replacements thereof; and 
"Technology Compatibility Kit" or "TCK" shall mean the 
test suite and accompanying TCK User's Guide provided 
by Sun  which corresponds to the Specification and 
that was available either (i) from Sun's 120 days 
before the first release of Your Independent 
Implementation that allows its use for commercial 
purposes, or (ii) more recently than 120 days from 
such release but against which You elect to test Your 
implementation of the Specification.

This Agreement will terminate immediately without 
notice from Sun if you breach the Agreement or act 
outside the scope of the licenses granted above.
