1. Grant of Licenses to the Oracle Linux programs. Subject to the terms of this Agreement,
Oracle grants to you a license to the Oracle Linux programs under the GNU General Public
License version 2.0. The Oracle Linux programs contain many components developed by Oracle
and various third parties. The license for each component is located in the licensing
documentation and/or in the component's source code. In addition, a list of components may be
delivered with the Oracle Linux programs and the Additional Oracle Linux programs (as defined
below) or accessed online at http://oss.oracle.com/linux/legal/oracle-list.html. The source code
for the Oracle Linux Programs and the Additional Oracle Linux programs can be found and
accessed online at https://oss.oracle.com/sources/. This agreement does not limit, supersede or
modify your rights under the license associated with any separately licensed individual
component.
2. Licenses to Additional Oracle Linux programs. Certain third-party technology (collectively
the “Additional Oracle Linux programs”) may be included on the same medium or as part of the
download of Oracle Linux programs you receive, but is not part of the Oracle Linux programs.
Each Additional Oracle Linux program is licensed solely under the terms of the Mozilla Public
License, Apache License, Common Public License, GNU Lesser General Public License,
Netscape Public License or similar license that is included with the relevant Additional Oracle
Linux program.
3. Ownership. The Oracle Linux programs and their components and the Additional Oracle
Linux programs are owned by Oracle or its licensors. Subject to the licenses granted and/or
referenced herein, title to the Oracle Linux programs and their components and the Additional
Oracle Linux programs remains with Oracle and/or its licensors.
4. Trademark License. You are permitted to distribute unmodified Oracle Linux programs or
unmodified Additional Oracle Linux programs without removing the trademark(s) owned by
Oracle or its affiliates that are included in the unmodified Oracle Linux programs or unmodified
Additional Oracle Linux programs (the “Oracle Linux trademarks”). You may only distribute
modified Oracle Linux programs or modified Additional Oracle Linux programs if you remove
relevant images containing the Oracle Linux trademarks. Certain files, identified in
http://oss.oracle.com/linux/legal/oracle-list.html, include such trademarks. Do not delete these
files, as deletion may corrupt the Oracle Linux programs or Additional Oracle Linux programs.
You are not granted any other rights to Oracle Linux trademarks, and you acknowledge that you
shall not gain any proprietary interest in the Oracle Linux trademarks. All goodwill arising out of
use of the Oracle Linux trademarks shall inure to the benefit of Oracle or its affiliates. You may
not use any trademarks owned by Oracle or its affiliates (including “ORACLE”) or potentially
confusing variations (such as, “ORA”) as a part of your logo(s), product name(s), service
name(s), company name, or domain name(s) even if such products, services or domains include,
or are related to, the Oracle Linux programs or Additional Oracle Linux programs.

HUNDRED DOLLARS (U.S.).
7. No Technical Support. Our technical support organization will not provide technical support,
phone support, or updates to you for the materials licensed under this Agreement. Technical
support, if available, may be acquired from Oracle or its affiliates under a separate agreement.
8. Relationship Between the Parties. The relationship between you and us is that of
licensee/licensor. Neither party will represent that it has any authority to assume or create any
obligation, express or implied, on behalf of the other party, nor to represent the other party as
agent, employee, franchisee, or in any other capacity. Nothing in this Agreement shall be
construed to limit either party's right to independently develop or distribute programs that are
functionally similar to the other party’s products, so long as proprietary information of the other
party is not included in such programs.
9. Entire Agreement. You agree that this Agreement is the complete Agreement for the Oracle
Linux programs and the Additional Oracle Linux programs, and this Agreement supersedes all
prior or contemporaneous Agreements or representations. If any term of this Agreement is found
to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain effective. Neither the
