License PAKs specifically OSF-BASE

I noted the following in a summary by Thomas Hughes (tph_at_beta.lanl.gov)

    so the licences can be restored from a backup of the database. Also, it was noted that
    previous versions of the OS did not check for the existence of OSF-BASE, and
    people who didn't have that (for whatever reason) had trouble with V3.0.

This comment seems at odds with my experiences with OSF/1 v1.3. In
particular, I have found that you cannot get the BookReader to display
the System Admin book (on the CD-ROM or on disk if it's there) if the
OSF-BASE license is not present. Do others concur with this?
