Very nice! So I take it that's a sublicense of
Dell/EMC IP? It doesn't say that.

Wild Hare Computer Systems, Inc., is pleased to announce that a
"Hobbyist License" is now available for legacy Data General
Nova and Eclipse software. This license allows educational, hobbyist,
non-commercial use of the vast amount of DG software - software
that changed the world in many ways.
The initial archives are currently available at:
www.NovasAreForever.org/dgsw
and includes documentation for the corresponding software.
This October announcement also honors the 54th anniversary of the original
Data General Nova. An international celebration of the Nova's 50th anniversary was
hosted by Wild Computer Systems in Colorado, USA. Some of the festivities
can be seen at:
www.Nova-At-50.org
and
www.Nova-At-50.org/album/index.html
To complement this Hobbyist License, a Nova and Eclipse emulator that can run all of the
software will be introduced later this week.
Wild Hare Computer Systems is dedicated to preserving Data General's
significant contributions to computer history. We seek DG hardware, software,
documentation,
sales literature - basically "anything DG" - that can be added to the
archives for posterity.
