: 2) Application server:  If you have a client running an app from an
: application server you have to buy a copy of the app, which has always
: been valid and true, but the CONCURRENT statement will be gone.

: i.e. If you have an icon pointing to the AppServer you need to pay.
: The software licensing control software that saves you tones of money
: won't be legal anymore.

This sounds like bullshit.  What if you have an icon pointing to a 
program that loads the software for you?  What if you have an icon 
pointing to the network that points to a program that loads it for you?  
What if I have an icon that opens up a DOS box that I run a batch file 
that loads the program?  What if I have an icon for a DOS box where I 
just type in the name of the software.  There's no way this rule can be 
made consistent.
