It is just undefined. Licenses only speak from CPU(s). They leave
open meaning the touchable one thing inside any PC or the actual
implementation of this thing. At the moment a Power 4 with two
independent kernels is not clear counting for 2 or 1 CPU.

Hyperthreading is sort of multitasking on CPU level. I am sure this
can't count for two CPU! But since Intels marketing wants us to
think of it as two CPUs in one package --- you can't be sure what
IBM/Lotus will make out of it!
