Cautions
What this situation gets wrong most often.
Section 1.7 excludes an entity acting as a reseller or intermediary for a Legal Entity above the threshold from the Root tier, even where its own revenue is small.
Attribution lives in the package manifest under ORA 8.1, not only in documentation, because an agent package is installed by a machine that never reads a directory listing.

Non-normative. Where this and the licence text disagree, the licence text applies.
