Oracle filed a countersuit, claiming neither it nor Sun had "unconditionally granted rights under its intellectual property to use or implement the Java technology without restriction". Companies must pass various tests before being allowed to distribute Java, and licensing deals signed with Esmertec in 2002 carried royalty burdens, as did subsequent agreements in 2003, 2006 and 2009. Then, in December 2009, Oracle says Myriad "demanded that it be provided new licensing terms under the JSPA. …. Myriad informed Oracle for the first time that it was 'working under the JSPA' and that its independent implementations, as such do not require the commercial licenses but are to be granted royalty-free."
