in the Software License Agreement. Lycos shall maintain the Source Code in
strict confidence and shall not use, reproduce, modify, access, disclose,
reverse engineer, display, transfer or transmit the Source Code, except as
expressly permitted herein. This limited Source Code license is further
subject to the same Software License Agreement restrictions as govern
