sublicensing
Passing permissions downstream
Sublicensing is granting someone else rights that you yourself hold under license from a third party.
A software company might license technology from a developer, then sublicense it to its own customers.
Whether sublicensing is permitted depends on the original license terms: The agreement prohibits sublicensing without written consent.
