Well, how can it be enforced?
Let's assume someone is working on some software, called XYZ. He's
working on zPDT emulated machine.
Finally he compiles his source code on some real hardware, leased for
one day. Or even not leased, but he is allowed to use the machine for
his own work. Allowed means some company which owns the machine agreed.
I think it is legal to use leased machine for such purpose. The use of
zPDT is not on the picture.
Disclaimer: Don't kill messenger. The above is just a question.

IIRC you can’t sell any artifacts (binaries and such) as they must be built on

way to ensure that real hardware is used for real products.

I thought it was pretty clear that what Joseph has, and what I

Joseph's question/comment was:
<Reichman>
Why do I have to pay so much money
When the learners edition is only a few hundred dollars
And they responded well that’s because you have z/PDT personal edition and can
sell software you develop
If so what makes me different than an ISV
</Reichman>
So, the "why" of the difference in cost between PE and LE is precisely what we
(or at least I) thought was under discussion.
As IBM explained, PE allows development while LE does not.
Sorry if I misunderstood your comment...
