I disagree with Sean - I think the 10 are reserved, but not in the same way that a fixed license is. If there are only 5 people in the reserved group who are using their licenses, the other 5 are open for use by anyone - until someone within the reserved group needs it, in which case one of the interlopers gets his/her license converted to a Read license so that the user in the reserved group can use the write license guaranteed to that group.
I don't have access to my docs to verify that, but it's the way it was last explained to me. Does someone have the definitive word on this?
