In my opinion, that is patently ridiculous. They say "if you install a
copy on one computer, each person that uses it must pay us", but then
later they say "you need to pay for each copy". Just choose one for
goodness sake!
So let's say someone sets up an Windows application server for their
developers. Perhaps some of them telecommute regularly. They need one
license for each developer. Let's say that the number of developers
grows, and now we add another application server and load balance
between them somehow. Do they need two times the licenses? Each
developer might use both copies.
I don't think mixing per user pricing with per copy pricing will ever
make sense to me. Then again, maybe software pricing is ludicrous by
nature, due to the ephemeral nature of software itself.
