You are ignoring the condition "person of another Party", aren't you?

No, I'm not ignoring it. I'm simply not addressing it. I am specifically addressing the fact that in the case of "import, distribution, or sale of...", it is incorrect to interpret that to mean that it only applies to imported software. It applies to essentially all software.

No, not all software. Only software from a "person of another Party". This applies to sale and distribution the same way as it does to imports.
