No.  The license is different - it's a full-blown commercial license.

Again, drop a note to mailto:bbsales@quest.com.  I'll give you an
added incentive - that mail goes to me.  I then beg^H^H^H recommend
stuff to the Quest saleman that I pass the note along to.  Of course
I can be completely ignored.  If that appears to be happening, I'm
always happy to step in and toss in my $0.02 about how something
should be handled.

This is *especially* true in the case of 'older brothers'...

In a nutshell, I suspect that they'll let you clone existing
installations under the BTF license but would want to charge
you BBPE prices (again we can beg for a discount based on
seniority, etc).

Thanks for caring about the licensing.
