Does DECUS also still supply licenses for commercial
use of VMS? If so,
does anyone have an idea of what their licensed user base is for that?
As far as I know, they've never supplied licenses for Commercial Use of
OpenVMS. That would be DEC/Compaq/HP. DECUS/Encompass is simply a User
Group. Is there a lapse in my reasoning anywhere here?
I just see no reason at this point why DECUS needs to be, and why people
need to pay money to use VMS in a hobbyist mode.
They DO NOT have to pay money! You can get FREE MEMBERSHIP that entitles
you to use OpenVMS! As for PAYING money, HP *STILL* charges people to use
Tru64 Unix in a "hobbyist mode".
