I found this interesting: 24. IBM licenses its customers to use IBM Machine Code to process all types of computing jobs ("workloads") on CPs. In contrast, customers are authorized to process only certain specified types of workloads on specialty processors. z/OS directs to specialty engines only those certain specified types of workloads that customers are contractually permitted to process on specialty processors.
Neon's response: Neon denies the allegations of paragraph 24. The Machine Code License in no sense distinguishes between general and Specialty Processors; and, z/OS does not direct workloads to specialty processors based on what customers are "contractually permitted to process on Specialty Processors." (And, in all fairness, IBM knows better.) Greg Shirey Ben E.

These are several documents that have been filed in the US District Court, Western District of Texas, for all you that are interested in that. This could get real interesting.
