Good to see Lotusphere 2005 (be it mini) made it to Australia

I was actually looking for other reviews of WSE, since we are a launch partner, and came across this referrer to me for my review I just did.  It was interesting to see that Lotus is allowing anyone that purchases the Domino Utility Server, free unlimited licenses to Domino.Doc and Workflow.  I couldn't find anything about it on the Lotus website, but I am sure it is out there somewhere.

So if they are offering that in a bundle, will anyone deploy it because it is free?  This sounds just like Sametime and what happened with 6.5.x for the integration.  I don't have that many customers that purchased the Utility Server license.  Here is what it offers to solve any confusion or questions:

Q. What does an IBM Lotus Domino Utility Server license include?
A. Domino Utility Server includes the following capabilities, designed for collaborative applications where the number of users is high or difficult to track (for example, a Web application for customer self-service).
  • Access to non-mail collaborative applications
  • Use of individual mail files is not allowed.
  • Client access licenses are not required for Web browser access to non-mail applications, even when user authentication is involved.
  • Access from a Lotus Notes client is allowed, but the Notes software and client access license must be acquired separately.
  • Domino partitioning (the capability to run more than one instance of Domino on the same machine using one copy of the Domino code)
  • Domino clustering for failover and load balancing
  • Limited use entitlement to WebSphere Application Server

So basically it is web only which means that Domino.Doc access is web only?  The Notes client side would require a license?  This seems odd to me.
