Wow... IBM's pricing for using the Rational Unified Process and the Rational Method Composer stinks.
If you can see it, you got to pay for it. I am so glad SPARX EA is more down to earth. I can't imagine having to have a license for every manager, customer, and developer that needs to look at the final documentation generated by the tool.
I get that the material is copyrighted, but at least cut the pure viewers some slack on the $405.00 license. I think the RMC is definitely worth the $405.00 because it is a tool used for tailoring. But cut the little guy a break and give us a viewing license for $50.00. Your still going to clean up, and you might even get more people to actually pay attention to the licensing model.
Until then, we'll be tailoring the OpenUP. At least I can thank IBM for that.
This post, this post, and this post tell the rest of the story. …. … Big Bucks, No Whammies!!!

I come to the conclusion that the important thing is the structure of RUP and the whole website with the documentation is not really required. Even for a process definition, you can have it at high level. The rest of the stuff is mostly reference.
BTW nice blog, I like RUP too, and I'm trying to blog some ideas about it. Feel free to take a look ;-)
