You are right.
The unlimited license is good for Sunrays everywhere.
Softray clients should not change that on the server side.
You would only want to pay for the client software (altough I like the
opensource idea also)
But illegal copying of client software is hard to prevent.
So I can imagine Sun wants to implement some server side restrictions to
prevent this.
Connection billing is than the easy way out.

If per connection billing would be used based on the number of

I believe that is why they offer an unlimited license. For us it's
like $25 a unit and shrinking as we add more DTU's.
The software itself doesn't have a cost. Unlike other vendors where
you pay a Per server fee and then a per user connection fee, it would
cost over 25 times as much money with that solution.
