  2. Media Format. The license granted includes the right to change the media format of the Test Material.

  3. No Additional Restrictions. Test Material User may not apply legal terms or technological measures to the Test Material or any derivative works that legally or practically restrict other users from doing anything that would otherwise be permitted if they licensed the Test Material directly from CTA.
