you a fully-paid, 
non-exclusive, non-transfer?able, worldwide, limited 
license (without the right 
to
sublicense), under BEA's applicable intellectual 
property rights to view,

you a perpetual, non-exclusive, non-transferable, 
worldwide, fully paid-up, 
royalty free, limited license (without the right to

applicable copyrights or, subject to the provisions of 
subsection 3 below, 

patent rights it may have covering the Specification 
to create and/or distribute 
an 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 
Sun Name Space, or include 
any public or protected packages, classes, Java

	a. With respect to any
patent claims covered 
by the license granted

condi?tioned upon your 
offering on fair, reasonable a
nd 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 
BEA 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 BEA that it has, in the course of performing 
its responsibili
ties as the 
Specification Lead, induced any other entity to 
infringe Your patent rights.

	c  Also with respect to any patent claims 
owned by BEA and covered by 
the license granted under subparagraph, where the 
infringement of su
ch 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 BEA that its making, having 
made, using, offer
ing to 
sell, selling or importing a Compli?ant Implementation 
infringes Your patent 
rights.
