Yeah, yeah, yeah, and if you follow it just a tad further for 
additional terms at the bottom of the link you refer to above:

http://etpgw02.dfw.ibm.com/MVSDS/'HTTPD2.ZOS13LPS.html

then check out the Websphere link:

http://www-
3.ibm.com/software/sla/sladb.nsf/b7db13a535a154a8862567310052aebd/a5d6
1318c2fb89f287256af1006495fc?OpenDocument&Seq=1

Then click on view, you will see 'Authorization for Use on 
Home/Portable Computer: 2' which is what Phil P. brought up in the 
first place.

Could Phil P. have gotten it wrong, it doesn't seem there is a ban, 
just that IBM wants an additional license fee.  At least that's what 
I get out of reading the Websphere doc.

Phil - the orginal link states there might be additional terms PWD 
ADCD users must read and abide by - isn't development suppose to be 
a 'for the cause' type of thing instead of a 'let's make money off of 
the enhancer's' type of thing?
