+
+ As used hereunder, "Licensed Claims" means those claims of a patent or
+ patent application, throughout the world, excluding design patents and
+ design registrations, owned or controlled, or that can be sublicensed
+ without fee and in compliance with the requirements of this
+ Agreement, by an Author or its affiliates now or at any

+ Moreover, Licensed Claims shall not include (i) any enabling technologies
+ that may be necessary to make or use any Licensed Product but are not
+ themselves expressly set forth in the Advanced Messaging Queue Protocol
+ Specification (e.g., semiconductor manufacturing technology, compiler
+ technology, object oriented technology, networking technology, operating
+ system technology, and the like); or (ii) the implementation of other
+ published standards developed elsewhere and merely referred to in the

+ (iii) any Licensed Product and any combinations thereof the purpose or
+ function of which is not required for compliance with the Advanced
+ Messaging Queue Protocol Specification. For purposes of this definition,
+ the Advanced Messaging Queue Protocol Specification shall be deemed to
+ include both architectural and interconnection requirements essential
+ for interoperability and may also include supporting source code artifacts
+ where such architectural, interconnection requirements and source code
+ artifacts are expressly identified as being required or documentation to
+ achieve compliance with the Advanced Messaging Queue Protocol Specification.
+
+ As used hereunder, "Licensed Products" means only those specific portions
+ of products (hardware, software or combinations thereof) that implement
+ and are compliant with all relevant portions of the Advanced Messaging
+ Queue Protocol Specification.

+
+ We use entities to indicate repetition; attributes to indicate properties.
+
+ We use the 'name' attribute as an identifier, usually within the context
+ of the surrounding entities.
+
+ We use spaces to seperate words in names, so that we can print names in
+ their natural form depending on the context - underlines for source code,
+ hyphens for written text, etc.
+
+ We do not enforce any particular validation mechanism but we support all
+ mechanisms. The protocol definition conforms to a formal grammar that is
+ published seperately in several technologies.
