There seems to be a growing trend by software publishers to support Dual use or hybrid licenses. These licenses allow the end user to use them either on-premise or in the Cloud.
An example of Dual-use license is for IBM® Notes™ (formerly Lotus Notes). Which is a single offering that grants entitlement to both on-premises and cloud deployments, allowing the customer to choose which workloads and user bases to service in each environment.
