- Corrections to Original Contributor as soon as reasonably practicable
- and, in any event, prior to Internal Deployment Use or Commercial Use,
- if applicable. Original Contributor may, at its discretion, post Source
- Code for Your Error Corrections and Shared Modifications on the
- Community Webserver. You may also post Error Corrections and Shared
- Modifications on a web-server of Your choice; provided, that You must
- take reasonable precautions to ensure that only Licensees have access to
- such Error Corrections and Shared Modifications. Such precautions shall
- include, without limitation, a password protection scheme limited to
- Licensees and a click-on, download certification of Licensee status
- required of those attempting to download from the server. An example of
- an acceptable certification is attached as Attachment A-2.

- or contribute to must include a file documenting the additions and
- changes You made and the date of such additions and changes. You must
- also include the notice set forth in Attachment A-1 in the file header.
- If it is not possible to put the notice in a particular Source Code file
- due to its structure, then You must include the notice in a location
- (such as a relevant directory file), where a recipient would be most
- likely to look for such a notice.
- (d) Redistribution.
- (i) Source. Covered Code may be distributed in Source Code form only to
- another Licensee (except for students as provided below). You may not
- offer or impose any terms on any Covered Code that alter the rights,
- requirements, or responsibilities of such Licensee. You may distribute
- Covered Code to students for use in connection with their course work
- and research projects undertaken at accredited educational institutions.
- Such students need not be Licensees, but must be given a copy of the
- notice set forth in Attachment A-3 and such notice must also be included
- in a file header or prominent location in the Source Code made available
- to such students.
- (ii) Executable. You may distribute Executable version(s) of Covered
- Code to Licensees and other third parties only for the purpose of
- evaluation and comment in connection with Research Use by You and under
- a license of Your choice, but which limits use of such Executable
- version(s) of Covered Code only to that purpose.
- (iii) Modified Class, Interface and Package Naming. In connection with
- Research Use by You only, You may use Original Contributor's class,
- Interface and package names only to accurately reference or invoke the
- Source Code files You modify. Original Contributor grants to You a
- limited license to the extent necessary for such purposes.
- (iv) You expressly agree that any distribution, in whole or in part, of
- Modifications developed by You shall only be done pursuant to the terms
- and conditions of this License.
- (e) Extensions.
- (i) Covered Code. You may not include any Source Code of Community Code
- in any Extensions. You may include the compiled Header Files of
- Community Code in an Extension provided that Your use of the Covered
- Code, including Heading Files, complies with the Commercial Use License,
- the TCK and all other terms of this License.
- (ii) Publication. No later than the date on which You first distribute
- such Extension for Commercial Use, You must publish to the industry, on
- a non-confidential basis and free of all copyright restrictions with
- respect to reproduction and use, an accurate and current specification
- for any Extension. In addition, You must make available an appropriate
- test suite, pursuant to the same rights as the specification,
- sufficiently detailed to allow any third party reasonably skilled in the
- technology to produce implementations of the Extension compatible with
- the specification. Such test suites must be made available as soon as
- reasonably practicable but, in no event, later than ninety (90) days
- after Your first Commercial Use of the Extension. You must use
- reasonable efforts to promptly clarify and correct the specification and
- the test suite upon written request by Original Contributor.
- (iii) Open. You agree to refrain from enforcing any Intellectual
- Property Rights You may have covering any interface(s) of Your
- Extension, which would prevent the implementation of such interface(s)
- by Original Contributor or any Licensee. This obligation does not
- prevent You from enforcing any Intellectual Property Right You have that
- would otherwise be infringed by an implementation of Your Extension.
- (iv) Interface Modifications and Naming. You may not modify or add to
- the GUID space * * "xxxxxxxx-0901-11d1-8B06-00A024406D59" or any other
- GUID space designated by Original Contributor. You may not modify any
- Interface prefix provided with the Covered Code or any other prefix
- designated by Original Contributor.* *
- * *
- (f) You agree that any Specifications provided to You by Original
- Contributor are confidential and proprietary information of Original
- Contributor. You must maintain the confidentiality of the Specifications
- and may not disclose them to any third party without Original
- Contributor's prior written consent. You may only use the Specifications

- the terms of this License with respect to Covered Code. You agree not
- use, copy or distribute any such Specifications except as provided in
- writing by Original Contributor.
