LIMITED LICENSE GRANTS

1. License for Evaluation Purposes. Oracle hereby grants you a fully-paid, non-exclusive,

non-transferable, worldwide, limited license (without the right to sublicense), under

Oracle'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. Oracle 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 Oracle or Oracle's licensors is granted

hereunder. Java, and Java-related logos, marks and names are trademarks or registered

trademarks of Oracle 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 Oracle'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 Oracle 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 Oracle 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 Oracle 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 Oracle 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 Oracle's

source code or binary code materials nor, except with an appropriate and separate license

from Oracle, includes any of Oracle'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 Oracle 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 Oracle which corresponds to the

Specification and that was available either (i) from Oracle 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 Oracle if you breach the

Agreement or act outside the scope of the licenses granted above.
