Does the Open License offer cross-platform licensing for applications?

Certain Microsoft applications available under Open License are licensed across all available platforms (platform independent licenses). A platform-independent license lets you use a specified version of a specified product on any platform the software runs on. For example, a license for Office 4.2 may be used on the Windows or Windows NT operating systems, or on the Macintosh platform, but may be used on only one computer. You may choose between the operating environments, but you do not receive a license on each. The platform-independent license applies to the following application products: Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Office (Standard and Professional editions), Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Project, and Microsoft Works. Developer tools and programming languages, while included in the applications pool, are not platform-independent; thus, separate licenses must be obtained for each operating environment.
