The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Grammar people, how would you parse this:

Company X grants to Company Y, under X's PATENTS, nonexclusive and nontransferable licenses to make, have made, use, lease, sell, import, and otherwise dispose of (and practice methods and processes for the use of) any or all products and services of the kinds which are furnished or used by Company Y or any of its present or RELATED COMPANIES in the operation of the business in which it is engaged on the effective date of this Agreement.

Specifically, what modifies what - especially the phrase "on the effective date of this Agreement." Grammatically, is this referring to the products/ services that were used by Company Y on the effective date of the agreement? Or is this referring to the business that Company Y was in on the effective date of the agreement?

eta: My answer would be that it is referring to the business that Company Y was in on the effective date of the agreement, because when I have to look at things that are this convoluted, I start by taking out what I think is extraneous material, which would leave us with this:

1.01 (a) X grants to Y[snip] nonexclusive and nontransferable licenses to make [snip] any or all products and services of the kinds which are furnished or used by Y [snip] in the operation of the business in which it is engaged on the effective date of this Agreement.

Company X grants to Company Y lisences on the effective date of this Agreement.

beth, that link was fabulous! i'm now watching all his other vids.

to be clear about what i said about Usain Bolt, i'm less referring to his reactions after his races than i am the way he acts beforehand. directly after the races, i didn't really see anything i would call showboating.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

prepare yourself for this, looked around toward the end of the race?

He also waggled his baton and made the #1 sign and kissed it as he crossed the finish line. In my opinion you aren't #1 for winning a heat unless you have some record in hand when you do it, and even then it's indicative of poor planning. Y'aint #1 till you walk away with the gold, so be careful.
