I don't think I've ever seen an official word on it, but I believe RSI
sells runtime versions of IDL to developers. It seems to me that it
would have to be structured similarly to what was just mentioned
(unsupported licenses). In this case, support would fall back to the
developer, rather than RSI. Isn't that how support of runtime versions
for most software is structured?
