Public Software CIC for TDC when the Group so directs, to be returned
once a surplus is available and at the Group's discretion concerning
timing and portioning, with the addition of 3% annual interest.
- Grant Public Software CIC a trademark license for "LibreOffice" when
used in the context of an online application software store

LibreOffice Viewer if each or either proves appropriate for TDC
