Surprisingly enough I am legit on this because we had a 3.5 foundation license that was from an old server that was still under maint contract. Vmware grandfathered it in to the vsphere 4 license model right before it expired. But either way, you know how easy it is to clone your vcenter server right. Especially since they really simplified licensing in 4.0.
