Subject: Free Sun GridWare Vs. Paying For Platform Computing's LSF ???

John, please keep me anonymous please.

Does anyone out in ESNUGland have experience with using Sun's Grid Engine
software (http://www.sun.com/gridware) for managing EDA compute jobs and 
licenses?  I used Platform Computing's Load Sharing Facility (LSF) at a
previous employer and liked it, but my penny-pinching current employer
likes the cost of GridWare: it's free.  I'm not fond of the GridWare
approach to license management and of course it only runs on Sun and Linux
platforms so far.  What other user's experiences with it?
