The App Store features thousands of great business apps designed to
deliver immediate benefits for

your company. With the App Store Volume Purchase Program, your business
can tap into the potential

of these world-class apps and offer a broad range of solutions for your
employees to make them even

more productive. Whether you're purchasing apps for iPhone, iPad, or
both, the Volume Purchase Program

offers a simple and efficient method to purchase iOS apps from the App
Store in volume for distribution

within your organization.

In addition to offering apps from the App Store, the Volume Purchase
Program enables businesses to buy

custom B2B apps developed for their unique needs. Businesses can work
with third-party app developers

and business partners to procure these custom B2B apps securely and
privately through the program. The

Volume Purchase Program is available in the US only.

Guys,
There are rumors that this same type of licensing will be available for the Mac App Store (so OS X apps) and in reference to Lion purchase/upgrades.

It isn't rumor. It is fact.

Be mindful of what you call "fact".

I'm not necessarily doubting the TUAW story. It's not uncommon for PR
departments to use "the media" to spread the word about announcements.

I'd suggest that this is probably the link you wish to publish if you want true confirmation!

Great if you are in the states!

If you go to the business and educational 'institutional purchase' online Apple stores, you'll now notice most of Apple's applications, and Lion, are now available for volume purchase (20+ seats for most), along with optional 3 year maintenance. For educational customers, you previously had to be enrolled in AELP, of which many institutions are unable to enter into because of the licensing terms, especially for the Mac Software collection. This new volume licensing policy looks very close to what it was in the past, and is a welcome change.
