    	SInce Sun claims that "the network is the computer", it would make
    sense that you should be able to interpret a "one CPU" license and a "one
    network" license to be the same thing.  Why do I suspect Sun's lawyer-types
    won't agree with me?

They'd probably say that, since it is common knowledge that "the connector
is the network," it's back to one machine again...:-).
