This Novell Software License Agreement ("Agreement") is a legal
agreement between You (an entity or a person) and Novell, Inc.
("Novell"). The software product identified in the title of this
Agreement, media (if any) and accompanying documentation
(collectively the "Software") is protected by the copyright laws and
treaties of the United States ("U.S.") and other countries and is
subject to the terms of this Agreement. If You do not agree with the
terms of this Agreement, do not download, install or otherwise use
the Software and, if applicable, return the entire unused package to
the reseller with Your receipt for a refund. The Software is
licensed to You, not sold. If the Software is an update or support
release, then You must have validly licensed the version and
quantity of the Software being updated in order to install or use the
update or support release.
The Software may include or be bundled with other software programs
licensed under different terms and/or licensed by a licensor other
than Novell. Use of any software programs accompanied by a separate
license agreement is governed by that separate license agreement.
Any third party software that may be provided with the Software is
included for use at Your option. Novell is not responsible for any
third party's software and shall have no liability for Your use of

Evaluation Software. If the Software is an evaluation version or is
provided to You for evaluation purposes, then Your license to use the
Software is limited solely to internal evaluation purposes in
accordance with the terms of the evaluation offering under which You

EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. NOVELL DOES NOT
WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL SATISFY YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR THAT THE

THE SOFTWARE OUT OF WHICH SUCH CLAIM AROSE [OR $50 (U.S.) IF YOU
RECEIVED THE SOFTWARE FREE OF CHARGE]. The above exclusions and
limitations will not apply to claims relating to death or personal
injury. In those jurisdictions that do not allow the exclusion or
limitation of damages, Novell's liability shall be limited or
excluded to the maximum extent allowed within those jurisdictions.

written consent not to be unreasonably withheld, publish or disclose
to any third party the results of any benchmark test of the Software.

compete with the Software ("Similar Products"), or are acting on
behalf of such a licensor, and You publish or disclose benchmark
information on the Software in violation of this restriction, then
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Similar Product's end
user license agreement, and in addition to any other remedies Novell
may have, Novell shall have the right to perform benchmark testing on
Similar Products and to disclose and publish that benchmark
information and You hereby represent that You have authority to grant
