.... But I remain confident that Timothy Sipples will be able to explain why

Subject: [IBM-MAIN] IBM announces up to 5% increase in monthly Entry WLC

"Announcement Letter No. ZA11-1029 dated July 5, 2011. Today, IBM announces up 
to 5% increase in monthly Entry Workload License Charges (EWLC) on selected IBM 
System z software products. Increased monthly charges on these Entry WLC 
products will be effective with the billing period that starts on or after 
January 1, 2012."

On the face of it, this does look like z9BC and z10BC users being milked by IBM 
to make a z114 upgrade look more attractive
