Note to the group:
Many vendors don't publish details about the licensing and pricing models.
Middleware pricing can get pretty complicated, and it's hard (and often
misleading) to give a hard and fast price. Most vendors provide a single or
multi-user development license and then have a very complicated algorithm
used to calculate the runtime license fees based on the size of the
processors, the number of expected concurrent users, the number of
transactions processed, or some such thing. So don't expect that this matrix
will give you any real kind of apples to apples price comparison
information.
