specific performance

Fulfilling the requirements of a contract in exactly the way the contract specifies. When most contracts are disputed in court, the plaintiff expects to receive money, that they can use to remedy the harm that the other party caused them in not holding up their side of the deal. When a plaintiff seeks specific performance, they want something that money can’t replace.

third-party beneficiaries of the GPL

People who aren’t a party to a GPL agreement, but who would benefit from the contract if the parties to the GPL do as they promise under the agreement. An example of such a benefit might be the receipt of the source code of the GPL’d software. See also General Public License (GPL).

Here's an example unrelated to software that explains the concept of “third party beneficary” (“3PB”): Imagine if Alice is a carpenter with a niece named Charlotte, who is just about to start college. Bob wants Alice to fix his stairs. Alice wants to help Charlotte pay tutition for school, so she alters her standard contract so Bob has to pay Charlotte the fee that would normally go to Alice. If Bob reneges on this promise, Charlotte would have the right enforce her claim to that fee against Bob, even though Charlotte isn't a party to the carpentry contract between Alice and Bob.
