License Rights and Restrictions Oracle grants You a nonexclusive, nontransferable,
limited license to use the Programs, subject to the restrictions stated in this
Agreement and Program Documentation, only for:
(i) Personal Use,
(ii) Development Use,
(iii) Oracle Approved Product Use, and/or
(iv) Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Use.
You may allow Your Contractor(s) to use the Programs, provided they are acting on
Your behalf to exercise license rights granted in this Agreement and further
provided that You are responsible for their compliance with this Agreement in such
use. You will have a written agreement with Your Contractor(s) that strictly limits
their right to use the Programs and that otherwise protects Oracle's intellectual
property rights to the same extent as this Agreement. You may make copies of the
Programs to the extent reasonably necessary to exercise the license rights granted
in this Agreement.
You may not:
remove or modify any Program markings or any notice of Oracle's or a licensor's
proprietary rights;
make the Programs available in any manner to any third party (other than
Contractors acting on Your behalf as set forth in this Agreement);
assign this Agreement or distribute, give, or transfer the Programs or an
interest in them to any third party, except as expressly permitted in this
Agreement for Contractors (the foregoing shall not be construed to limit the rights
You may otherwise have with respect to Separately Licensed Third Party Technology);
cause or permit reverse engineering (unless required by law for
interoperability), disassembly or decompilation of the Programs; and
create, modify, or change the behavior of, classes, interfaces, or subpackages
that are in any way identified as "java", "javax", "sun", “oracle” or similar
convention as specified by Oracle in any naming convention designation.
The Programs may contain source code that, unless expressly licensed in this
Agreement for other purposes (for example, licensed under an open source license),
is provided solely for reference purposes pursuant to the terms of this Agreement
and may not be modified.
All rights not expressly granted in this Agreement are reserved by Oracle. If You
want to use the Programs for any purpose other than as expressly permitted under
this Agreement, You must obtain from Oracle or an Oracle reseller a valid Program
license under a separate agreement permitting such use.
OwnershipOracle or its licensors retain all ownership and intellectual property
rights to the Programs.

the terms of this Agreement or, if specified in the Program Documentation, readmes
or notice files, under Separate Terms. Your rights to use Separately Licensed Third
Party Technology under Separate Terms are not restricted in any way by this
Agreement. However, for clarity, notwithstanding the existence of a notice, third
party technology that is not Separately Licensed Third Party Technology shall be
deemed part of the Programs and is licensed to You under the terms of this
Agreement.
