I wouldn't bet on it. Try cross-posting the question to HP3000-L or
SigSoftVend and you'll likely see more reaction from vendors. My guess is
HPSUSAN going to be important if only from the standpoint of preventing
piracy, even if they should somehow all agree not to use tier-based pricing
ala HPCPUNAME. But I think it's probably way too early for most to know that
what pricing strategy they may use.
