e-ProWire tries to clear up Sametime licensing with Lotus Notes

Category
I haven't had time to tell Chris about this small error, but I know he reads this so here goes...

Lotus Notes 6.5.1 includes for customers free Sametime awareness, allowing customers to install a Sametime server at no additional cost, and use that awareness within Lotus Notes. There is one small mistake in this e-Pro article though, the article states:

Simply put, for free, you may load Sametime on your existing Domino 6.5.1 server, or another server, and use the integrated chat in the Notes client ONLY.


This isn't quite correct, as IBM/Lotus actually took special steps to make sure the license covers Sametime awareness with mailboxes served up by Domino servers, so that products such as Instant TeamMessenger for Outlook can be used with products like Domino Access for Microsoft for Outlook without having to purchase Sametime licenses, leading to the ability for Instant to offer with IBM this DAMO promotion. So some advanced thinking from IBM/Lotus when they worded that license for exactly this type of promotion.
