2.1. The Initial Developer Grant.

    Conditioned upon Your compliance with Section 3.1 below and subject
    to third party intellectual property claims, the Initial Developer
    hereby grants You a world-wide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license:

    (a) under intellectual property rights (other than patent or
    trademark) Licensable by Initial Developer, to use, reproduce,

  feedback for that case. However, when offline mode is declared, nothing
  earmarked as remote should be accessed, regardless of whether it is actually
  a physically local resource.

  NOTE: One side-effect of this design change is that all offline-mode code can
  be isolated to maven-core, maven-plugin-descriptor, and [possibly]
  maven-artifact. Usage of maven-wagon will be determined by an offline-aware
  manager.

 - elements that are critical for pom dissemination
 - those that are used locally by the user like <developerConnection/>
