Clearly it's in Apple's interest to work out some sort of
licensing policy for large sites, particularly universities.

Apple has an evangelist who's role is to make sure the company's
policies are appropriate for the 'higher education' market.
If you (or any other school) feels that it has a better way that
Apple should handle system software for universities, you should 
let the evangelist know.

It would appear, however, that Apple intends to sell the client software,
so a reasonable approach is to negotiate the cost of the software
(particularly on a per-Mac basis, instead of a per-disk basis)
rather than to try to push to get it free.
