+Abstract
+
+   This Request for Comments records an agreement between Sun
+   Microsystems, Inc. and the Internet Society to permit the flow of
+   Sun's Network File System specifications into the Internet Standards
+   process conducted by the Internet Engineering Task Force.
+
+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 RFCs 1094 dated March 1989 ("NFS: Network File System
+   Protocol Specification") and 1813 dated June 1995 ("NFS Version 3
+   Protocol Specification") are not attached to the document below, but
+   are incorporated by reference.

+
+                  AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE INTERNET SOCIETY,
+                   THE IETF, AND SUN MICROSYSTEMS, INC.
+                    IN THE MATTER OF NFS V.4 PROTOCOLS
+
+
+   This Agreement is made this 3rd day of March, 1998 by and between Sun
+   Microsystems, Inc. ("Donor") and the Internet Society.  In
+   consideration of the mutual covenants and conditions set forth below,
+   the parties hereto agree as follows:
+
+   1. License Grant.  For good and valuable consideration, receipt and
+   sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and solely for the
+   purpose specified in Paragraph 2 below, Donor hereby grants to the
+   Internet Society ("Licensees" which, for the purposes of this
+   Agreement, shall include the Internet Engineering Task Force
+   ("IETF"), the IETF Secretariat, and their respective members,
+   officers, employees, contractors and participating individuals) a
+   cost-free, perpetual, non-exclusive, worldwide right and license
+   under any copyrights owned or otherwise licensable by Donor, under
+   any Sun patent rights that are essential to practice the
+   Specification, and any other Sun intellectual property rights to use,
+   reproduce, distribute, perform, display and prepare derivative works
+   of the Specification, and to authorize others to do so.  For the
+   purposes of this Agreement, "Specification" means the technical
+   specification described more fully in Exhibit A, which Donor will
+   make available as the initial point for development of the
+   specification for NFS Version 4 as described hereunder, together with
+   any technical specifications based thereon developed by Licensees.
+
+   2. Statement of Purpose.  The licenses granted in Section 1 are
+   granted for the sole purpose of seeking to make the Specification an
+   Internet standard.
+
+   3. Evolution of the Specification.  Donor further grants to Licensees
+   a worldwide right and license to further evolve, develop and modify
+   the Specification for the purpose of making the Specification an
+   Internet Standard through the Internet Standardization Process (as
+   specified in RFC 2026); Donor may not grant a license involving the
+   Specification to any other party, including any standards group, that
+   would authorize such party to evolve, develop, modify or promote the
+   Specification as a standard.  In particular, Donor acknowledges that
+   if it performs any evolution, development or modification of the
+   Specification 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 Specification developed outside of the Internet
+   Standards Process.

+RFC 2339              ISOC / Sun agreement on NFS               May 1998
+
+
+   4. Non-Confidentiality.  Donor hereby acknowledges that Licensees
+   assume no obligation to maintain any confidentiality with respect to
+   the Specification licensed hereunder.  Licensees acknowledge that any
+   rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by Donor.  Donor
+   represents that, to the best of its knowledge, there are no
+   infringement claims against the Specification.
+
+   5. Future License.  Donor hereby acknowledges that Licensees have no
+   duty to publish or otherwise use or disseminate the Specification,
+   including, in particular, an obligation to raise the Specification to
+   the Internet standards-track.  Provided that the Specification is
+   elevated to "Proposed Standard" level within 24 months of the
+   execution of this Agreement, Donor hereby agrees to license the
+   Specification to others at no charge and otherwise under
+   substantially similar terms as those granted to Licensee herein (with
+   the exception that such use of the Specification by such Licensees
+   shall be for purposes of implementing and complying with the Standard
+   rather than for making the Specification an Internet Standard), so
+   long as such licensees of the Specification implement and comply with
+   the Internet standard.  In the event the Specification is not
+   elevated to "Proposed Standard" level within 24 months of the
+   execution of this Agreement, then the license granted in Section 3 of
+   this agreement shall terminate.
+
+   6. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY.   THE SPECIFICATION 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.
+
+   7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.  IN NO EVENT WILL DONOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY
+   LOST REVENUE, PROFITS 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 SPECIFICATION, EVEN IF DONOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
+   POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+   8. Acknowledgment.  Donor agrees to permit Licensees to use Donor's
+   name and address to indicate the original source of the
+   Specification.
+
+   9. Miscellaneous.  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.

+   be executed by their duly authorized representatives.

+
+   Exhibit A The specifications embodied in RFCs 1094 and 1813, minus
+   the portions of RFCs 1094 and 1813 that assume that NFS Version 2 and
+   Version 3 operate over XDR and ONC RPC.*  The control of ONC RPC
+   program number 100003 (NFS) for the purpose of generating Version
+   numbers 4 and onward.
+
+   *Note:  ISOC already has a license to use XDR and ONC RPC (see IETF
+   RFC 1790), and thus may determine whether or not to create an NFS
+   Version 4 that uses XDR and/or ONC RPC.
+
+Security Considerations
+
+   Since this document records an agreement rather than describes a
+   technology security is not directly effected but, that said, one of
+   the aims of an IETF NFS working group should be to ensure that a
+   standards track NFS protocol has adequate security.
