That is perfectly legal in my mind. Vendors compile code on their system and ship you the modules you run on yours.
This is no different. Isn't it the z8xx you can RUN COBOL programs compiled elsewhere, but not compile them? Alan Suppose we licensed a COBOL compiler for one system; would we be violating license restrictions to run the compiles on that one system but ship the resulting object code out to other systems? Specifically thinking of a situation where developers submit their compiles using NJE, and the compile proc's JCL uses DEST=(node,userid) to send the results back to the submitter? I'm sure this is technologically feasible, my question is now that most of us have LE enabled as part of our systems, we no longer license the COBOL run-times, therefore is it legal to do it this way?
