In one additional provision Defendant has attempted to subvert the intention of the Settlement in order to preclude effective competition by the Intel-compatible free software operating system. Under &sect; III(J)(1), Defendant may refuse to disclose &ldquo;portions of APIs or Documentation or portions or layers of Communications Protocols the disclosure of which would compromise the security of anti-piracy, anti-virus, software licensing, digital rights management, encryption or authentication systems, including without limitation, keys, authorization tokens or enforcement criteria.&rdquo; This provision is so indefinite that Defendant can be expected to argue that all APIs and Communications Protocols connected with the security and authentication aspects of electronic commerce (including especially &ldquo;without limitation&rdquo; keys and authorization tokens, which are the basic building blocks of all electronic commerce systems) can be kept secret.
