That hasn't been true for years, unless you're talking about "traditional 
CMS-based" workloads.  In which case you may not be able to license all the IBM 
software you want on the IFL without going through the special bid process.

That has never been true, except for the "should be" part.  Linux doesn't care, 
just your CFO.

Not sure what you're saying here.  IFLs don't add to the z/OS MSU-based 
software charges.  You still have to pay for any z/VM licenses and/or Linux 
subscriptions that you will be running on those IFLs.
