Hi David,
What you were told about the CPU licensing does not completely reflect what Oracle's official licensing says. One mistake I see is their interpretation of Sun-rcle's T1 chip:
> - SPARC and T CPU by Sun Microsystems or Fujitsu, then one CPU core is
> equal to 0.5 (it was 0.75 before Oracle's purchase of Sun...)
...which this document:
http://www.oracle.com/corporate/contracts/library/processor-core-factor-table.pdf
...says has a .25 CF. "CF" of course referring to "Core Factor" or what I gather is known in military circles as a "Charlie Foxtrot". 'nuf said.
