Your post got me thinking Jim. What would be cool is if they would
allow people to go the ISV lease route, but instead of shipping a
physical machine out they could just have you host it under the same
license agreement. They could cut the hardware prices by more than
half most likely.

BTW, here is the "IBM Customer Agreement" that you have to agree with
to get a developer machine:

Even under that program there are restrictions in the Terms and
Conditions that would have prohibited us from building the offering that
we did. The Ts&Cs are not nearly as straight forward as you are
intimating. That program assumes you are going to produce a product
that will help sell IBM i, a reasonable thing from IBM since they are
giving you a significant discount. There are other parts of the Ts&Cs
that come into play with that program that would put restrictions on
what could be done with it. With all things the devil is in the details.
