The 3 terms may be considered as:
This reciprocal covenant only affects the code which
is contributed by Sun this time.
Otherwise, the term 3) ii) doesn't make sense.
>>> (2) don't modify Sun's code as provided by Sun, don't use only parts

The above claim about "don't modify Sun's code" is based on the
following term, right?
3) for infringements caused by:
i) the modification of the Contribution or
ii) the combination of the Contribution with other
software or devices where such combination causes
the infringement.
But if one cannot combine the contributed code with other software,
this contributed code doesn't make any sense.
Note this is library code, and the only way to use such function is to
combine it with other software.
