Charles,
I sure hope they don't start charging for software by headcount. Every time
I see a headline about a company cutting thousands of workers, invariably
they say that the stock went up. If software costs go down whenever you
have a headcut, that will give management added incentives to cut workers.
They might decide to cut us - then the stock would really go up - at least
for a little while.

- Charging by some business metric is the correct answer, except that it
won't work! Seriously, I agree with you that it would be the right way to
charge. I heard Scott McNealy talk one time about charging by corporate
headcount: pay us $50 (?) per month per body and you can have all of the
Sun
software you want. >
