Does that include IAS - - the one thing I really want on the PiDP11...
Lots of my local newspapers ran it... Especially for classified advertising.

The situation is murky. Yes, XX2247 "owns" most PDP-11 OS and software.
However, there are clauses in the contracts that give HP (HPE?) control

XX2247 can do.

An interesting side question is this: what legacy
DEC oses does HPE
still own the rights to and what if anything is going to happen to those?
I believe most (all?) of the PDP-11 OSs are, or at least were a few
years ago, owned by David Carroll. I don't know what he plans to do
with it all, if anything.
