[HECnet] HPE OpenVMS Hobbyist license program is closing

OK, now I've got it.? I believe this reverse-engineering may have also happened for TSU's on the 36 bit line.? It is now specifically outlawed by the Digital Millennium Act, but that hackery undoubtedly predated it.? One assumes that it was contractually precluded. But I still find this particular financial speculation compelling; cash flow in new (younger than a decade) small companies can be a significant driver for certain kinds of decisions unless they are prodigiously funded (perhaps by VC). OpenVMS x86_64 may or may not generate a certain amount of revenue; there is clearly risk there.? However, right now, it's not generating _anything_, is costing resources and hhas yet to be delivered. Hence it follows that a bean counter might be looking around for, you know, beans...? That could also drive actions on discovery of non-VSI issued PAK's.? I do not have an informed opinion on PAK tracking nor VSI funding, VC or otherwise. On 3/7/20 2:07 PM, Dave McGuire wrote:
