Clause 5: 5. The Intel Software provided in binary form contains confidential information of Intel regarding technical aspects of the Itanium processor. You must use the same degree of care to protect this confidential information of Intel that you use to protect your own confidential information, but no less than a reasonable degree of care. You must restrict access to the Intel Software provided in binary form to your employees who have executed written agreements with you obligating them to protect confidential information as required under this paragraph. The obligations of this paragraph do not apply to any information that is or becomes published by Intel without restriction, or otherwise becomes rightfully available to the public other than by breach of confidentiality obligation to Intel. Hm, as I read this, said confidential information is all contained in some binaries. If you don't look in the binaries, and you don't distribute the binaries, or distribute code linked to the binaries, have you not complied with all their obligations without infecting yourself? -- see shy jo
