Notwithstanding the foregoing limited license grant,
you acknowledge that the SOFTWARE may include
EXCLUDED SOFTWARE. Certain EXCLUDED SOFTWARE
may be covered by open source software licenses
("Open Source Components"), which means any

the Open Source Initiative or any substantially similar
licenses, including but not limited to any license that,
as a condition of distribution of the software licensed
under such license, requires that the distributor make
the software available in source code format. If and to

com/linux or other SONY-designated web site for a list
of applicable OPEN SOURCE COMPONENTS included in
the SOFTWARE from time to time, and the applicable

and conditions may be changed by the applicable
third party at any time without liability to you. To the

licenses applicable to EXCLUDED SOFTWARE prohibit
any of the restrictions in this EULA with respect to such
EXCLUDED SOFTWARE, such restrictions will not apply
to such EXCLUDED SOFTWARE. To the extent the terms
of the licenses applicable to Open Source Components
require SONY to make an offer to provide source code
in connection with the SOFTWARE, such offer is hereby
made.
