See IBM publication SG24-8205-04 for a detailed discussion. In short, the 
terms and conditions (and sales plans) are completely different, but the 
actual emulation program and functions are the same, with very slight 
differences.  zPDT (for ISVs) includes z/VM and z/VSE, whereas z/VM is an 
extra feature for zD&T. They use different tokens (IBM types 1090 and 
1091); software-only licenses are only for zD&T.  Very minor differences.

Unless you are an ISV, a member of the IBM Partnerworld, and eligible for 
the z Systems developer discount program, your path would be to zD&T.
