My thought about pricing for each lpar is that it if the software is installed in two partitions, for example, then you have two copies installed as if the customer had two servers.  This means you have twice the support exposure for that customer. 
 
Just my .02c.

one  I know oof is  charging by partition

I frequently have customers call me to ask us what our licensing policy is regarding LPAR.  Since we charge (partially) based on tier group, we do not charge extra by partition.  However I've had several customers comment that we were the first software vendor they'd talked to who *wasn't* doing so.  I don't know who the other vendors were, but it makes sense to me that if the software if based 'per system' without regard to tier, the vendor would be more likely to charge extra for loading it on multiple partitions than if the software was tier priced.
