II. PURPOSE.
|
|
|
|
Sun is licensing the Technology under this Java Research License (the
|
|
"License") to promote research, education, innovation, and development
|
|
using the Technology. This License is not intended to permit or
|
|
enable access to the Technology for active consultation as part of
|
|
creating an independent implementation of the Technology.
|
|
|
|
COMMERCIAL USE AND DISTRIBUTION OF TECHNOLOGY AND MODIFICATIONS IS
|
|
PERMITTED ONLY UNDER A SUN COMMERCIAL LICENSE.
|
|
|
|
III. RESEARCH USE RIGHTS.

|
|
grants to You a non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide, and

|
|
alone, or with Modifications;

|
Modifications, with other Licensees; and
|
|

|
|
license of Your choice that is consistent with this License; and

|
publish papers and books discussing the Technology which may include
|
|
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
|
|
"tainted" in a way that would prevent You from creating or
|
|
contributing to an independent implementation, but this License grants
|
|
You no rights to Sun's copyrights or patents for use in such an
|
|
implementation.
|
|
|
|
C. No Implied Licenses. Other than the rights granted herein, Sun

|
|
|
D. Third Party Software. Portions of the Technology may be
|
|
provided with licenses or other notices from third parties that govern
|
|
the use of those portions. Any licenses granted hereunder do not alter
|
|
any rights and obligations You may have under such licenses, however,
|
|
the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provisions in
|
|
this License will apply to all Technology in this distribution.
