[pca] No more free patches

[Martin Paul]

So the new "Software Update Entitlement Policy for Solaris" as described 
in http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-61-203648-1 is 
pretty clear:

   A support contract covering Solaris is required to access, download,
   install and use all Solaris Software Updates. This applies to all
   Solaris releases.

But why is it possible to download the current kernel patch for x86 
(142901-04) without a support contract, while its counterpart for SPARC 
(142900-04) does require a contract?

Without a clear statement from Oracle, this creates confusion and anger. 
  The OpenSolaris crowd would like to have some public answers, too, as 
described in:

(the message is German, but the links referring to blog entries from 
Peter Tribble and Ben Rockwood are English).
