Re: SharePoint (not Portal) Licensing

For an "official" answer you would have to talk to your licensing rep, TAM or whoever handles your account as each customer is different depending on how their account is setup. There's the base response and you can interpret it whatever way you want, but your account guy will have the final answer.
