| The increasing use of virtualization has blurred the lines between
| physical and virtual worlds, creating a new issue for buyers and sellers
| of computer software: Software licensing as we know it is dying--or
| already dead.

| might resist and seek alternatives, such as Linux and other open-source
| options that cost less and more flexibly address virtualization-based
| licensing.
