My understanding is is that they are.  I have had my head in development 
projects for the past couple of months so I haven't had time to poke 
around in the IBM Business Partner website to see what is new.  I pulled 
most of the stuff I posted from various PowerPoint presentations that 
IBM has given to BP's over the past year.

Compliance won't be automated for quite some time.  All of this would be 
devilishly difficult to programmatically handle.  But IBM reserves the 
right to audit your license compliance and I would expect that process 
would be a manual one for the time being.
