NOTICE; LIMITED LICENSE GRANTS 

Sun Microsystems, Inc. ("Sun") hereby grants you a fully-paid, non-exclusive, 
non-transferable, worldwide, limited license (without the right to sublicense), 
under the Sun's applicable intellectual property rights to view, download, use 
and reproduce the Specification only for the purpose of internal evaluation, 
which shall be understood to include 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. 

Sun also grants you a perpetual, non-exclusive, worldwide, fully paid-up, 
royalty free, limited license (without the right to sublicense) under any 
applicable copyrights or patent rights it may have in the Specification to 
create and/or distribute an Independent Implementation of the Specification 
that: (i) fully implements the Spec(s) including all its required interfaces and 
functionality; (ii) 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 (iii) passes the TCK (including satisfying the requirements of the 
applicable TCK Users Guide) for such Specification. The foregoing license is 
expressly conditioned on your not acting outside its scope. No license is 
granted hereunder for any other purpose. 

You need not include limitations (i)-(iii) 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 implementations of the Specification (and products 
derived from them) that satisfy limitations (i)-(iii) 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 Spec in question. 

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; and "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. 

This Agreement will terminate immediately without notice from Sun if you fail to 
comply with any material provision of or act outside the scope of the licenses 
granted above.
