Joint Customers vs. Joint Subscribers

Hi,

I just received the Salesforce.com ISV Partner Program Partner Success Survey and I can't seem to find a good explanation of the difference between Joint Customers and Joint Subscribers anywhere. The survey simply states the following:

* Note: Joint customers are those companies or organizations subscribing to a partner's Force.com OEM or AppExchange application.
 
Please provide a little more detail and, even better, an example to go along with it.
 
More specifically to my particular situation, if I only currently offer a free app, do all of the production organizations that have my free app installed count as joint customers, joint subscribers or neither? 
 
Thanks a lot,
Mike

Joint customers are companies that use your Force.com app, so if Walmart used your Force.com app, you would have 1 joint customer.

 

Joint subscribers are licensed users at a company that use your Force.com app, so if Walmart had 1000 licenses of your Force.com app, you have 1000 joint subscribers.

 

Hope that helps,
