Developer hereby agrees that if he has or acquires hereafter any proprietary interest (including, without limitation, any patent or copyright interest) dominating the Works, the Program, the Program as enhanced by the Works, or other enhancements to the Program, or the use of any of those, such dominating interest will not be used to undermine the effect of this assignment, i.e. the Foundation and the general public will be licensed to use, in that program or programs and their derivative works, without royalty or limitation, the subject matter of the dominating interest. This license provision will be binding on the assignees of, or other successors to, the dominating interest, as well as on Developer. This license grant is nonexclusive, royalty-free and non-cancellable.
