These terms apply to Code used by certain machines IBM or your reseller specifies (called "Specific Machines"). International Business Machines Corporation or one of its subsidiaries ("IBM") owns copyrights in Code or has the right to license Code. IBM or a third party owns all copies of Code, including all copies made from them. If you are the rightful possessor of a Specific Machine, IBM grants you a license to use the Code (or any replacement IBM provides) on, or in conjunction with, only the Specific Machine for which the Code is provided.

Under each license, IBM authorizes you to do only the following: 1. execute the Code to enable the Specific Machine to function according to its Official Published Specifications (called "Specifications"); 2. make a backup or archival copy of the Code (unless IBM makes one available for your use), provided you reproduce the copyright notice and any other legend of ownership on the copy. You may use the copy only to replace the original, when necessary; and 3. execute and display the Code as necessary to maintain the Specific Machine. You agree to acquire any replacement for, or additional copy of, Code directly from IBM in accordance with IBM's standard policies and practices. You also agree to use that Code under these terms. You may transfer possession of the Code to another party only with the transfer of the Specific Machine. If you do so, you must 1) destroy all your copies of the Code that were not provided by IBM, 2) either give the other party all your IBM-provided copies of the Code or destroy them, and 3) notify the other party of these terms. IBM licenses the other party when it accepts these terms. These terms apply to all Code you acquire from any source.
