Gee Whiz, Peter, do you always think in terms of PWD offerings. Does
you product stop functioning without a PWD license? What about non
PWD license holders?

Do you mean additional fees over and above the purchase of hardware
from one of their business partners?
If additional license terms don't mean money terms, then the "free
license" should be available to all who "qualify" based on their
project info and could run on whatever system they wish, not just a
FLEX PWD offering. If we have a z/900 on which we wish to carve out
an LPAR and a few MIPS to develop with, the PWD license prohibits
that usage.
"You may not share or use the Program on another system. This
Program, which is the IBM software provided on the applicable ADCD
sets, is authorized for use only on the single designated development
system to which it is licensed, being an IBM authorized system
obtained through the PartnerWorld for Developer (PWD) Program or the
FLEX-ES emulator obtained through a PWD qualified IBM Business
Partner."
Phil - thinking the whole mess stinks
