or entities represented by the individual executing this License.
II. PURPOSE.
Sun is licensing the Technology under this Java Research License (the

relevant excerpts that do not in the aggregate constitute a
significant portion of the Technology.
B. Residual Rights. If You examine the Technology after accepting
this License and remember anything about it later, You are not

provided with licenses or other notices from third parties that govern
