As HP are quite happy with licensing VMS 7.3 for
VAX and 8.3 for Alpha free
of charge to Hobbyists who are members of HPUG. I can't see an issue with
PDP-11 OS's
These systems have champions on the inside that can make things happen.
It is actually a lot more complicated than that, and as I understand it there
is a business reason for wanting to keep VMS usage numbers up.
There is no one left who can do that for any of the PDP systems. I tried
using the channel that CHM had for the other non-commercial licenses from HP
in the past and didn't get anywhere.
