   be owned by the licensee.

   (b) The licensee is responsible for informing all participants in the
   experiment that the operation of the service or device is being
   conducted under an experimental authorization and is strictly
   temporary.

   (c) Marketing of devices (as defined in § 2.803 of this chapter) or
