I think Zates company has a global contract that puts the cost per
version of Solaris at less than US$100.00 per copy. That puts them WAY
below the Red Hat pricing scheme and Zate's company doesnt seem to be
wanting to pursue a similar contract with Red Hat. So Zate instead has
to pay regular price...
