The way I read the agreement, it looks to me like that is not an option.

It seems like a pretty clever stratagy on Suns parts.  People WANT Sun to 
charge for SO,  but Sun wants to make it as ubiquitous as possible.  So 
Sun gives **5** seats for every user (basically, you almost can't pirate 
this thing) and from various posts around the internet it looks like 
there will be a myriad of ways to get it for much less than the price Sun 
is "charging".  (Resellers can sell it for almost anything they want, 
educational licenses are free,  promo copies for free sitting all over, 
etc...)
