IBM points out in the presentation I saw that while z/OS.e provides technical enforcement of the rules, zNALC provides legal (Ts & Cs) enforcement. Further, what is an "eligible" workload is pretty much up to IBM's discretion, and you have to agree to their doing audits if they want to. I'm not sure if this is a good thing, but it will presumably eliminate the point of things like the COBOL compiler to JVM bytecodes that at least a couple of vendors provide(d), other than as an off-mainframe migration aid.
