Ryan,
Like Ernest, My suggestion is to contact the folks at Sandia and look at
their copy of the license agreement. My company did buy a license for
JESS. I don't think I can disclose the specifics of the contract. Besides,
our contract would probably not be the same as yours. It was a fair price,
though.
