+Request for Comments: 1790                              Internet Society
+Category: Informational                                       April 1995
+
+
+               An Agreement between the Internet Society
+                                  and
+                         Sun Microsystems, Inc.
+               in the Matter of ONC RPC and XDR Protocols
+
+Status of this Memo
+
+   This memo provides information for the Internet community.  It does
+   not specify an Internet standard of any kind.  Distribution of this
+   memo is unlimited.
+
+Note:
+
+   This RFC is NOT a standard. It is an official public record of an
+   agreement between SUN Microsystems and the Internet Society.  The
+   referenced RFC 1057 dated June 1988 ("RFC: Remote Procedure Call
+   Protocol Specification Version 2) and RFC 1014 dated June 1987 ("XDR:
+   External Data Representation Standard) are not attached to the
+   document below, but are incorporated by reference.
+
+Purpose:
+
+   This Request for Comments records an agreement between SUN
+   Microsystems, Inc. and the Internet Society to permit the flow of
+   SUN's Open Network Computing Remote Procedure Call and External Data
+   Representation specifications into the Internet Standards process
+   conducted by the Internet Engineering Task Force.  It should be noted
+   by readers that paragraph 4 means, in part, that someone or some
+   organization other than the named "Licensees" must be separately
+   "licensed" to make use of these specifications for implementation or
+   other purposes.  SUN Microsystems commits to providing such a license
+   under "substantially similar terms" and at no charge.  If the
+   referenced RFCs are re-issued as Proposed Standards, SUN could offer
+   a blanket license to implementors which could, itself, be documented
+   and recorded as an RFC for reference.

+RFC 1790    ISOC - SUN Agreement: ONC RPC and XDR Protocols   April 1995
+
+
+                AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN
+
+                THE INTERNET SOCIETY
+
+                      AND
+
+                SUN MICROSYSTEMS, INC.
+
+                 IN THE MATTER OF
+
+              ONC RPC AND XDR PROTOCOLS
+
+   1. For good and valuable consideration, receipt and sufficiency of
+   which is hereby acknowledged, Sun Microsystems, Inc. ("Donor") hereby
+   grants to the Internet Society and the Internet Engineering Task
+   Force, their officers, employees, the IETF Secretariat and
+   contractors ("Licensees") for the sole purpose of making Donor's Open
+   Network Computing ("ONC") Remote Procedure Call ("RPC") and External
+   Data Representation ("XDR") (together the "Technology", which is the
+   technical specifications set forth in Exhibit "A" attached hereto
+   [sic] and incorporated herein by reference) an Internet standard,
+   entering the Internet Standard process as a Proposed Standard, a
+   cost-free, perpetual, non-exclusive, worldwide right and license
+   under any copyrights, patents or other rights in Donor's Technology
+   to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, propose, test, develop,
+   analyze, enhance, revise, adopt, maintain, perform and display
+   publicly, and prepare derivative works that are based on or
+   incorporate all or part of the Technology, and to reproduce,
+   distribute and perform or display publicly any such derivative works,
+   in any form and in all languages (computer and foreign), including
+   the right and license to use the marks "ONC RPC" and "ONC XDR"
+   ("Marks") in association therewith, and to authorize others to do so.
+   Donor agrees to permit Licensees to use Donor's name and address to
+   indicate the original source of the Technology.
+
+   2. Donor further exclusively transfers to Licensees the worldwide
+   right and license to further evolve, develop and modify the
+   Technology for the purpose of making the Technology an Internet
+   Standard through the Internet Standardization Process (as specified
+   in RFC 1602), including the right and license to use the Marks in
+   association with any such modifications, and to authorize others to
+   do so. In particular, Donor acknowledges that if it performs any
+   evolution, development and modification of the Technology outside of
+   the Internet Standardization Process, that this should be clearly
+   indicated as being a non-standard development, and that no reference
+   to the Internet Standards Process is allowed for any such Technology
+   developed outside of the Internet Standards Process.

+
+
+   3. Donor hereby acknowledges that Licensees assumes no obligation to
+   maintain any confidentiality with respect to the Technology licensed
+   hereunder, and Donor represents that, to the best of its knowledge,
+   there are no infringement claims against the Technology. Donor
+   represents that the Technology was not prepared jointly with others.
+   Licensees acknowledge that any rights not expressly granted herein
+   are reserved by Donor.
+
+   4. Donor hereby acknowledges that Licensees have no duty to publish
+   or otherwise use or disseminate the Technology, including, in
+   particular, an obligation to raise the Technology to the Internet
+   standards-track.  In the event the Technology is elevated to Proposed
+   standard level, Donor hereby agrees to license the Technology to
+   others under substantially similar terms as those licensed to
+   Licensee herein at no charge (with the exception that such use of the
+   Technology by such Licensees shall be for purposes other than making
+   the Technology an Internet Standard), so long as such licensees of
+   the Technology implement the Internet standard.  In the event the
+   Technology is not elevated to Proposed standard level within 24
+   months of the execution of this agreement, then Section 2 of this
+   agreement is null and void.
+
+   5. THE TECHNOLOGY IS PROVIDED TO LICENSEES "AS IS", AND ALL
+   REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING FITNESS
+   FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. MERCHANTABILITY AND NONINFRINGEMENT ARE
+   HEREBY DISCLAIMED.
+
+   6. IN NO EVENT WILL DONOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST REVENUE, PROFIT OR
+   DATA, OR FOR DIRECT, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
+   PUNITIVE DAMAGES, HOWEVER CAUSED AND REGARDLESS OF THEORY OF
+   LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE TECHNOLOGY,
+   EVEN IF DONOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+   7. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the
+   parties concerning its subject matter, and supersedes all prior
+   written or oral agreements and discussions. All additions or
+   modifications to this agreement must be made in writing and must be
+   signed by an authorized representative of each party.  If any term or
+   condition of this Agreement is declared void or unenforceable as
+   provided herein or by a court of competent jurisdiction, the
+   remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. The
+   parties agree to comply strictly with all applicable export control
+   laws and regulations.  Where no U.S.  Federal law governs, this
+   agreement will be governed by the law of the State of California
+   without reference to its conflict of laws provision.
