Add my voice to those who think that 50 cpus is a lot for a departmental
site license. 10-20, that sounds more reasonable. I presume that the figure
includes both macs and dos version. Many departments only have 15-20
faculty, even at a large research institution like Columbia! Of course,
several departments could chip in and buy a 50 cpu license, but the
bureacratic inertia required to be overcome is astronomical. Still, I think
mini-site licenses can be a good idea, and if the minimum number of cpus
needed is lowered and the price is right, I think it can make a big dent in
piracy!
