While I 100% agree with you and actually feel the pain of the free/not
free dilemma these are things that you need to bring up to your Sales
rep who can pass on your customer information to marketing. If you just
buy Sun Rays off ebay and want a clear conscience that being "legal"
gives you, you're probably out of luck. Rest assured we don't have
secret Sun Ray police running around checking up on RTU's. How do we
enforce RTU's? Support. Can't get support without and RTU.
Most the folks on this alias from Sun are from the technical side who
typically don't get involved in too many non-technical issues. That
being said, we have managed to twist the arm of some of our marketing
folks to at least view the digests and do voice our concerns from time
to time. I think my exact phrase on the RTU issue was "what else are
you going to use a Sun Ray for?".
That being said, one can argue that all thin clients have a tax. Wyse,
Neoware, etc if you want to "manage" more than a hand full you must buy
their enterprise license which just happens to be right around the RTU
price.

What I'd like to see is the RTU just bundled in with the unit. I can't
think of anything else I can really use the SunRays for. I'm going to
need the RTU to (legally) use it. Why do we have to buy it separate
(and try to track the licenses)? Only thing I can see is if I buy a new
one to replace one that's failed. However, that's still a weak argument
for separate RTUs.
