Companies listed in this table are not granted rights to modify, distribute, copy or use the Program. Not under the GPL nor under any other Open Source license. This restriction includes employes, both past and present and anyone affiliated with the following Companies. +--------------------------------------------------------------+ | Company | Identified by | +--------------------------------------------------------------+ | The SCO Group | Domain Name: SCO.COM | | MySQL AB | Domain Name: MYSQL.COM | | Red Hat | Domain Name: REDHAT.COM| | Apple Computer | Domain Name: APPLE.COM | | Sun Microsystems | Domain Name: SUN.COM | | International Business Machines | Domain Name: IBM.COM | +--------------------------------------------------------------+ a) The restriction in section 3 and section 3 does not apply if the Program is part of Work by others not affected by section 3 and the Work is distributed under the GPL or under one of the licenses listed in section 2 above ***** Thankfully, that clause is no longer present. However, the EXCEPTIONS seem to not give linking permission to modified versions of their code. Accordingly, we should treat this code as GPLv3+ only, and ignore the EXCEPTIONS.
