1.Definitions:
a. “Derivative works” are defined as works based upon one or more pre-
existing works, such as a translation or a musical arrangement, or any
other form in which a work may be recast, transformed, or adapted. A
work consisting of editorial revision, annotations, elaboration, or other
modifications which, as a whole, represent an original work of author-
ship, is a Derivative work.
b. “Internal Code” is Microcode that (i) is an integral part of Equipment, (ii)
is required by such Equipment to perform its data storage and retrieval
functions, and (iii) executes below the user interface of such Equip-
ment. Internal code does not include other Microcode or software, in-
cluding data files, which may reside or execute in or be used by or in
connection with such Equipment, including, without limitation, Mainte-
nance Code.
c. “Maintenance Code” is defined as Microcode and other software, in-
cluding data files, which may reside or execute in or be used by or in
connection with Equipment, and which detects, records, displays, and/
or analyzes malfunctions in the Equipment.
d. “Microcode” is defined as a set of instructions (software) that is either
imbedded into or is to be loaded into the Equipment and executes below
the external user interface of such Equipment. Microcode includes both
Internal Code and Maintenance Code, and may be in magnetic or other
storage media, integrated circuitry, or other media.
2. The Equipment you have acquired by purchase or lease is manufactured
by or for Sun and contains Microcode. By accepting and operating this
Equipment you acknowledge that Sun or its licensor(s) retain(s) owner-
ship of all Microcode, as well as all copies thereof, that may execute in or
be used in the operation of servicing of the Equipment and that such Mi-
crocode is copyrighted by Sun or its licensor(s).
3. Sun hereby grants you, the end user of the Equipment, a personal, non-
transferable (except as permitted in the transfer terms in paragraph 7 be-
low), nonexclusive license to use each copy of the Internal Code (or any
replacement provided by Sun or your authorized Sun distributor or re-
seller) which license authorizes you, the end user, to execute the Internal
Code solely to enable the specific unit of Equipment for which the copy of
Internal Code is provided to perform its data storage and retrieval func-
tions in accordance with Sun’s (or its licensor’s) official published speci-
fications.
4. Your license is limited to the use of the Internal Code as set forth in para-
graph 3 above. You may not use the Internal Code for any other purpose.
You may not, for example, do any of the following:
(a) access copy, display, print, adapt, alter, modify, patch, prepare Deriv-
ative works of, transfer, or distribute (electronically or otherwise) or
otherwise use the Internal Code;
(b) reverse assemble, decode, translate, decompile, or otherwise reverse
engineer the Internal Code (except as decompilation may be express-
ly permitted under applicable European law solely for the purpose of
gaining information that will allow interoperability when such informa-
tion is otherwise not readily available); or
(c) sublicense, assign, or lease the Internal Code or permit another per-
son to use such Internal Code, or any copy of it.
If you need a backup or archival copy of the Internal Code, Sun, or your
authorized Sun distributor or reseller, will make one available to you, it be-
ing acknowledged and agreed that you have no right to make such a copy.
5. Nothing in the license set forth in paragraph 3 above or in this entire No-
tice shall convey, in any manner, to you any license to or title to or other
right to use any Maintenance code, or any copy of such Maintenance
Code. Maintenance Code and Sun’s service tools and manuals may be
kept at your premises, or they may be supplied with a unit of Equipment
sent to you and/or included on the same media as Internal Code, but they
are to be used only by Sun’s customer service personnel or those of an
entity licensed by Sun, all rights in and to such Maintenance Code, ser-
vice tools and manuals being reserved by Sun or its licensors. You agree
that you shall not use or attempt to use the Maintenance Code or permit
any other third party to use and access such Maintenance Code.
6. You, the end user, agree to take all appropriate steps to ensure that all of
your obligations set forth in this Notice, particularly in paragraphs 4 and
5, are extended to any third party having access to the Equipment.
7. You may transfer possession of the Internal Code to another party only
with the transfer of the Equipment on which its use is authorized, and your
license to use the Internal Code is discontinued when you are no longer
an owner or a rightful possessor of the Equipment. You must give such
transferee all copies of the Internal Code for the transferred Equipment
that are in your possession, along with a copy of all provisions of this No-
tice. Any such transfer by you is automatically (without further action on
the part of either party) expressly subject to all the terms and conditions
of this Notice passing in full to the party to whom such Equipment is trans-
ferred, and such transferee accepts the provisions of this license by initial
use of the Internal Code. You cannot pass to the transferee of the Equip-
ment any greater rights than granted under this Notice, and shall hold Sun
harmless from any claim to the contrary by your transferee or its succes-
sors or assigns. In addition, the terms and conditions of this Notice apply
to any copies of Internal Code now in your possession or use or which you
hereafter acquire from either Sun or another party.
8. You acknowledge that copies of both Internal Code and Maintenance
Code may be installed on the Equipment before shipment or included with
the Equipment and other material shipped to you, all for the convenience
of Sun’s service personnel or service providers licensed by Sun, and that
during the warranty period, if any, associated with the Equipment, and
during periods in which the Equipment is covered under a maintenance
contract with Sun or service providers licensed by Sun, both Internal
Code and Maintenance Code may reside and be executed in or used in
connection with such Equipment, and you agree that no rights to Main-
tenance Code are conferred upon you by such facts. Sun or the licensed
service provider may keep Maintenance Code and service tools and
manuals on your premises but they are to be used only by Sun’s customer
service personnel or those of service providers licensed by Sun. You fur-
ther agree that upon (i) any termination of such warranty period or main-
tenance contract period; or (ii) transfer of possession of the Equipment to
another party, Sun and its authorized service providers shall have the
right with respect to the affected Equipment to remove all service tools
and manuals and to remove or disable all Maintenance Code and/or re-
place Microcode which includes both Internal Code and Maintenance
Code with Microcode that consists only of Internal Code.
