Right.  The announcement letter noted by the original post is an EMEA 
announcement.
http://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi/cgi-bin/ssialias?subtype=ca&infotype=an&appname=iSource&supplier=877&letternum=ENUSZP08-0123

A little bit of poking returned me the US announcement letter 
http://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi/index.wss?DocURL=http://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi/rep_ca/4/897/ENUSC08-004/../../../6/897/ENUS208-016/index.html&InfoType=AN
Announcement letter 208-016 which is very similar to the EMEA letter.

The US letter explicitly states: 'Authorization for use on home/portable 
computer:  You may not copy and use this program on another computer 
without paying additional license fees.'

The good news is that we won't need to worry about any of this for a 
year or so since we can only order it with V6R1, and the boss sure as 
heck isn't going to V6R1 any time soon.
