Uh, IBM's license has no bearing on those not taking a license through
IBM.  At present PWD is the only Flex-ES-based offering of IBM.  Should
I be concerned about what IBM's licenses say when they are not a party
to the transaction?

Phil, the "additional terms" are merely additional license terms
associated with only certain elements of the PWD package as opposed to
those terms applying to all items in the package, and they are made
available for you to consider when licensing the AD-CD's.  Those terms
are discussed and linked to as follows:

Please note: The License Information document for the Application
Developers CD refers to the the
following Web page which contains the individual Licensed Program
Specifications or License Information
(as applicable) for each of the Program products on the ADCD and which
may contain additional terms for
that particular product:
http://etpgw02.dfw.ibm.com/MVSDS/'HTTPD2.ZOS13LPS.html' . Users of the
ADCD are required to read and abide by these additional terms.  [you may

The z/900 offered through the program is cheaper than the z/900 offerred
commercially.  If you already have a machine
that they are interested in you developing upon, perhaps they might make
an exception.  Ask them.
