Details can be found here : http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/features/2005/oct05/10-10virtualizationlicensing.mspx We, as a community and canonical as a company should have a clear response to this, because, we, do not have such a licensing scheme at all! I think it is CRUCIAL that we lay ubuntus licensing as clear as possible, because I can not seem to find any figures. is it: $0 per physical processor, $0 per virtual processor or $0 per installed megabyte of ram? it is important for the adoption of ubuntu in the enterprise to clear up these matters! I hope to hear from you, TMM ----- End forwarded message ----- -- ---- WBR, Michael Shigorin ------ Linux.Kiev http://www.linux.kiev.ua/
