-- that the restrictions on WideBand Defendants include, without limitation, a restriction upon any further marketing, selling, manufacturing, development, modification, duplication, or transport or delivery of technology containing the computer code at issue in the case, or any product substantially derived from that computer code, including for the purpose of servicing any past or existing customer; and
