Gil:
This doesn't surprise me. I thank you for finding it, as I was going to
look for something like that in the announcement.
This is very much the same as prior offerings, going back as far as the
zPad and even back to the PC Server 500. I had both of these and similar
restrictions applied. In addition, you had to jump through some hoops
annually to renew your license by proving that you were developing a
product that would run on the same zSeries system. Did you also find
anything along these lines needed for the annual renewal of this offering?

I've been remiss in not posting this sooner on IBM-Main. I recently
purchased Rational Development & Test (RD&T) from IBM, a product which
allows anyone to run z/OS on Intel hardware. That's right, anyone. You
do not have to own any big iron. Any high-schooler, college kid, z/OS
professional, etc. can order this product and run z/OS on a PC
platform. For ordering details, go to this link:

Where I read:
Note: Rational Development and Test Environment for System z can only be
used for
development, test, employee education, or demonstration of applications
that run on
z/OS. It may not be used for production workloads of any kind, nor for
robust
development workloads including without limitation production module
builds,
pre-production testing, stress testing, or performance testing.
"... development, test [but not] robust development ... or performance testing"?
I see some blurred lines here. I wonder how the lawyers clarify them?
