-the Specification and the information described therein will be
-governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
-</p>
-<p>
-Subject to the terms and conditions of this license, including your
-compliance with Paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 below, Sun hereby grants you a
-fully-paid, non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited license (without
-the right to sublicense) under Sun's intellectual property rights to:
-</p>
-<p>
-1.Review the Specification for the purposes of evaluation. This
-includes: (i) developing implementations of the Specification for your
-internal, non-commercial use; (ii) discussing the Specification with
-any third party; and (iii) excerpting brief portions of the
-Specification in oral or written communications which discuss the
+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 Technology.
-</p>
-<p>
-2.Distribute implementations of the Specification to third parties for
-their testing and evaluation use, provided that any such
-implementation:
-</p>
-<p>
-(i) 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;
-</p>

-</p>
-<p>
-(iii) includes the following notice:&nbsp; "This is an implementation
-of an early-draft specification developed under the Java Community
-Process (JCP) and is made available for testing and evaluation
-purposes only. The code is not compatible with any specification of
-the JCP."
-</p>
-<p>
-The grant set forth above concerning your distribution of
-implementations of the specification is contingent upon your agreement
-to terminate development and distribution of your "early draft"
-implementation as soon as feasible following final completion of the
-specification. If you fail to do so, the foregoing grant shall be
-considered null and void.
-</p>
-<p>
-No provision of this Agreement shall be understood to restrict your
-ability to make and distribute to third parties applications written
-to the Specification.
-</p>
-<p>
-Other than this limited license, you acquire no right, title or
-interest in or to the Specification or any other Sun intellectual
-property, and the Specification may only be used in accordance with

-earlier of: (a) two (2) years from the date of Release listed above;
-(b) the date on which the final version of the Specification is
-publicly released; or (c) the date on which the Java Specification
-Request (JSR) to which the Specification corresponds is withdrawn. In
-addition, this license will terminate immediately without notice from
-Sun if you fail to comply with any provision of this license. Upon
-termination, you must cease use of or destroy the Specification.

+<p>
+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

+<p>
+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.
+</p>
+<p>
+4. Reciprocity Concerning Patent Licenses.
+</p>
+<p>
+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.
+</p>
+<p>
+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.
+</p>
+<p>
+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.
+</p>
+<p>
+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.
+</p>
+<p>
+This Agreement will terminate immediately without notice from Sun if you
+breach the Agreement or act outside the scope of the licenses granted above.
