Nope. Very common practice. When you buy a house, it very often comes with a long list of restrictions on what you can and cannot do.
An auto has to be regularly licensed, inspected, and (in some areas) insured. You must be licensed to operate that auto. And on and on and on.... When you buy an IBM box, you no doubt sign an agreement of some sort that covers the situation. Even if not, then getting the enablement would require the provider to adhere to one or more legally binding instruments. An IBM box is full of trade secrets and proprietary stuff. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Edward Jaffe Sent: Friday, July 17, 2009 10:31 AM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: Offload work to zIIP with zPRIME Denis Gdbler wrote: ..snip Yes.
