So how does that work? Can anyone get the zIIP interface code and use it without having to pay a license fee to IBM? Or is CA paying IBM for access to the ZIIP and that cost will eventually get passed on in their software cost? Just seems like both CA and IBM are giving up money for nothing since so many of their products are MIPS or MSU based and off-loading cycles to zIIP processors will have us staying on 'smaller' machines longer. Or are they just starting to realize a new cost model?
