Yes, and in the next paragraph, BAE does the same to ODIS.

I didn't suggest that ODIS has any obligation to BAE on the commercial side other than those outlined in Article IV Running Royalties and Other Considerations (outlined again below)

I'm no lawyer but it seems that BAE gets the military and ODIS gets the commercial side of the product. I only question what, exactly, "the Field" means. I see the definition:

“Field” shall mean information, processes, methods, devices and apparatus involved in the technology of making, designing or using integrated electronics and optoelectronic semiconductor devices on Gallium Arsenide substrates.

The point is what's the value of the military side? If they decided to do this together, would BAE take less than half (the military side) and let ODIS walk away with the lions share of the profit? I doubt it.

So that means that the military side is worth as much as the commercial side.

Additionally, it seems like we would be paying BAE a royalty for commercial production, just as they are paying ODIS for military production.

Non-Exclusive Licensed Production Grant to ODIS Under BAE SYSTEMS Background Technology and BAE SYSTEMS Development Technology. BAE SYSTEMS hereby grants to ODIS and its affiliates a royalty—bearing, paid up, non-exclusive, perpetual worldwide license under BAE SYSTEMS Background Technology and BAE SYSTEMS Development Technology to make, have made, use, sell, lease, offer for sale, offer for lease, import, and Otherwise Dispose of Licensed Products and Licensed Processes in the Field. BAE SYSTEMS also grants to ODIS the right to grant sublicenses, of the same scope as the licenses for Licensed Products and Licensed Processes granted herein to ODIS to third parties, with the prior written consent of BAE SYSTEMS, which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. ODIS will promptly furnish BAE Systems with a fully executed photocopy of any such license agreement.
