If hp *does* say 'screw that' I'll just
build a linux or *BSD box. It's not
like I haven't got the hardware to do it :)
I believe things are in place to continue the program even if HP does drop
out.
Given the fact that HP is the licensor, if *they* pull the plug,
or drop out of the loop, Encompass/DECUS/Interex will no longer
(automatically) have the delegated licensor rights.
I'm not talking about Encompass (Interex has nothing to do with the
program).
I have no problem with the way the OpenVMS Hobbyist program is set up,
and I know that if the plug is pulled I'm not going to be hung out to
dry.
