In return You grant IBM a world-wide, non-exclusive, irrevocable, cost-free license to download, reproduce, execute, display, perform, copy, modify, distribute Your derivative works of the Program, said license including the right to sublicense it to subsidiaries, affiliates and third parties and for those to sublicense it to others.
