Can't be.  If it was in policy, then never in practice nor in
customer-accessible documentation.

True for Oracle; no lapsing.  And then there's a requalification fee for
lapsing.

Sun Ray 1 had a 5 year warranty.  If someone tells us that we really have to
purchase all this support to keep getting updates, we either stop updating
and/or we phase out Sun Rays entirely.  Hard to say since I'm not the final
decision maker when it comes to finances.
