Who can rest easy knowing that there is the possibility that SAP may... or may not, depends on how they are feeling... sue your company for $50m in indirect licensing fees? The entire concept is ridiculous. If you have data stored in a database, probably not even an SAP database, which originated in SAP's finance module or something of that sort, SAP is claiming they own your data and you need to take a license even if you write your own customer billing portal where customer can go in and work with their historical bills... which is nothing to do with SAP. Basically saying that anyone who touches any of your company's data, even an end user customer or supplier, needs to be licensed, even if they have never logged into an SAP system.
