+4. **No Sublicensing to Above-Threshold Entities.** The Licensee may not
+   sublicense, resell, or otherwise transfer rights in the Licensed
+   Material to any entity that exceeds the revenue threshold, unless that
+   entity has obtained its own written license from the copyright holder.
+
+5. **Share-Alike.** If the Licensee distributes derivative works, those
+   works must be distributed under this same license or a compatible
+   license that preserves these conditions.
