ATTACHMENT D
COMMERCIAL USE LICENSE
1. Effect. This Attachment D is to the Sun Community Source License version 2.7
for the Hotspot Virtual Machine Technology ("SCSL"). You and Original
Contributor have agreed to the terms of the SCSL. You acknowledge that the SCSL
is binding on You. This Attachment D is effective only if signed below by
Agreement No. 55543 Page 1
<PAGE> 2
You and Original Contributor, and applies to Your Commercial Use of Original
Code and Upgraded Code. All capitalized terms used herein shall have the same
meaning set forth in the SCSL unless otherwise stated. In the event of a
conflict between the express terms of this Attachment D and the Research Use
license Section 3.1, the terms of this Attachment D shall govern.
2. Term. Upon execution of this Attachment D by You and Original Contributor,
this Commercial Use license shall have a term of 18 months. Upon payment by You
of the amounts set forth in Section 7 hereof, the term of this Attachment D
shall be extended by one or two years, as applicable.
3. Commercial Use License Grant. Subject to Your compliance with Section 4
below, Section 8.10 of the SCSL, and the TCK license (and Your right to cure
breaches to the extent provided in Section 6. of the SCSL); in addition to the
Research Use license, the TCK license, and the Internal Deployment Use license,
Original Contributor grants to You a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable
license, to the extent of Original Contributor's Intellectual Property Rights
covering the Original Code, Upgraded Code and Specifications, to do the
following within the specified field of use:
a) reproduce and distribute Compliant Covered Code and authorize or license its
use in compliance with the License by other Licensees;
b) compile Compliant Covered Code and reproduce and distribute the same in
Executable form directly to end users or through one or multiple tiers of
distribution and authorize or license its use by others in compliance with the
License;
c) reproduce and distribute Reformatted Specifications in association with
Compliant Covered Code and authorize or license their use by others in
compliance with the License; and
d) create Modifications for Commercial Use or Internal Deployment Use under the
provisions of this Attachment D and Section 2.a)(i) of the Research Use license.
4. Additional Requirements and Responsibilities. In addition to the requirements
and responsibilities specified in the Research Use license, the TCK license and
the Internal Deployment license, and as a condition to exercising the rights
granted in Section 3 above, You agree to the following additional requirements
and responsibilities:
a) Distribution of Source Code. Source Code of Compliant Covered Code may be
distributed only to another Licensee of the same Technology.
b) Distribution of Executable Code. You may distribute the Executable version(s)
of Compliant Covered Code under a license of Your choice, which may contain
terms different from this License, provided (i) that You are in compliance with
the terms of this
Agreement No. 55543 Page 2
<PAGE> 3
License, and (ii) You must make it absolutely clear that any terms which differ
from this License are offered by You alone, not by Original Contributor or any
other Contributor. Commencing with Your first release of Compliant Covered Code,
each binary copy of Your Linux operating system distributed by You must include
the executable version of Your implementation of the Technology (and which must
conform to the definition of Compliant Covered Code), except that for binary
copies made available via web download, You must instead make the executable
version of Your implementation of the Technology (and which must conform to the
definition of Compliant Covered Code) available for download as well. This
section does not require bundling of Your implementation of the Technology with
Your OpenLinux software in fields of use outside the scope of Section 7, or in
distributions limited to demonstration, evaluation, or promotional purposes or
copies of Your OpenLinux software which must be distributed in order to comply
with the GNU General Public License.
c) Branding. Products integrating Compliant Covered Code used for Commercial Use
must be branded with the Technology compliance logo under a separate trademark
license required to be executed by You and Original Contributor concurrent with
execution of this Attachment D.
5. Indemnity/Limitation of Liability. The provisions of Section 7.1 of the
Research Use license are superseded by the following:
a) Your Indemnity Obligation. You hereby agree to defend, at Your expense, any
legal proceeding brought against Original Contributor or any Licensee to the
extent it is based on a claim: (i) that the use, reproduction or distribution of
any of Your Error Corrections or Shared Modifications is an infringement of a
third party trade secret or a copyright in a country that is a signatory to the
Berne Convention; (ii) based on any representation, warranty, support,
indemnity, liability or other license terms You may offer in connection with any
Covered Code; or (iii) arising from Your Commercial Use of Covered Code, other
than a claim covered by Section 5.b) below, or a patent claim based solely on
Covered Code not provided by You. You will pay all damages, costs and fees
awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction, or such settlement amount
negotiated by You, attributable to such claim.
b) Original Contributor's Indemnity Obligation. Original Contributor will
defend, at its expense, any legal proceeding brought against You, to the extent
it is based on a claim that Your authorized Commercial Use of Original Code and
Upgraded Code is an infringement of a third party trade secret or a copyright in
a country that is a signatory to the Berne Convention, and will pay all damages,
costs and fees awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction, or such settlement
amount negotiated by Original Contributor, attributable to such claim. The
foregoing shall not apply to any claims of intellectual property infringement
based upon the combination of code or documentation supplied by Original
Contributor with code, technology or documentation from other sources.
Agreement No. 55543 Page 3
<PAGE> 4
c) Right of Intervention. Original Contributor will have the right, but not the
obligation, to defend You, at Original Contributor's expense, in connection with
a claim that Your Commercial Use of Original Code and Upgraded Code is an
infringement of a third party patent and will, if Original Contributor chooses
to defend You, pay all damages, costs and fees awarded by a court of competent
jurisdiction, or such settlement amount negotiated by Original Contributor,
attributable to such claim.
d) Prerequisites. Under Sections 5.b) and c) above, You must, and under Section
5.a) above, Original Contributor or any Licensee must: (i) provide notice of the
claim promptly to the party providing an indemnity; (ii) give the indemnifying
party sole control of the defense and settlement of the claim; (iii) provide the
indemnifying party, at indemnifying party's expense, all available information,
assistance and authority to defend; and (iv) not have compromised or settled
such claim or proceeding without the indemnifying party's prior written consent.
e) Additional Remedies. Should any Original Code, Upgraded Code, TCK,
Specifications, Error Corrections, or Modifications become, or in the
indemnifying party's opinion be likely to become, the subject of a claim of
infringement for which indemnity is provided above, the indemnifying party may,
at its sole option, attempt to procure on reasonable terms the rights necessary
for the indemnified party to exercise its license rights under this License with
respect to the infringing items, or to modify the infringing items so that they
are no longer infringing without substantially impairing their function or
performance. If the indemnifying party is unable to do the foregoing after
reasonable efforts, then the indemnifying party may send a notice of such
inability to the indemnified party together with a refund of any license fees
received by the indemnifying party from the indemnified party for the infringing
items applicable to the indemnified party's future use or distribution of such
infringing items, in which case the indemnifying party will not beliable for any
damages resulting from infringing activity with respect to the infringing items
occurring after such notice and refund.

under this License. You may contract for one or more support programs from
Original Contributor relating to the Technology which are described on the SCSL
Webpage.
