sublicenses
Granted derivative rights
Sublicenses are permissions granted by a licensee to a third party, passing along some or all rights originally received from the licensor.
Software companies often sublicense technology they've licensed from others: The agreement prohibits sublicensing without written consent.
The verb sublicense means to grant such secondary permissions: They sublicensed the patent to three manufacturers.
