Hi David,

What you were told about the CPU licensing does not completely reflect what
Oracle's official licensing says.  One mistake I see is their interpretation
of Sun-rcle's T1 chip:

> - SPARC and T CPU by Sun Microsystems or Fujitsu, then one CPU core is
> equal to 0.5 (it was 0.75 before Oracle's purchase of Sun...)

...which this document:

http://www.oracle.com/corporate/contracts/library/processor-core-factor-table.pdf

...says has a .25 CF.  "CF" of course referring to "Core Factor" or what I
gather is known in military circles as a "Charlie Foxtrot".  'nuf said.
