This is correct.  I got the following over the phone from NeXT
TeleBusiness:

N5516    Software Release 2.0 Upgrade  License

Price for this varies from $50 - $65 for educational institutions,
so you have to contact your NeXT rep for that.

But, note that the price for 2.0 Extended on OpticalDisk is
only $15 more than the BLANK Optical Disk (for UC Berkeley Dept'l
purchase).  This means that it will cost more for you
if you buy blank OD's and separate No-media 2.0 licenses from
NeXT.
