My understanding is that those users would need only Domino licenses, no i5/OS entitlement.. *UNLESS* The domino applications.use DB2 through DECS or what have you.

Just to add more to the mix (and Larry is right on with his
information. He must have sat through the same, agonizingly detailed BP
presentations as I did) .

If you are running a Linux LPAR, you don't need UE's for any users (real
or imagined) that access resources within the partition. So, if you had
a PHP app running against a MySQL database within that partition, you
need no UE's. None. If, however, you access System i resources (DB for
example) then UE's apply.

Where things get interesting is if you have an IXA/IXS running Windows
accessing the System i then do you pay for Windows CAL's and System i
UE's? I can't remember, but perhaps I dozed off during that part.

The reality here, and Larry said it, is this is based in large part in
System i owners policing themselves. Given the way they have structured
the licensing there is no automated way they could ever count "persons".
