It would be
nice if HP let VMS completely loose after 2020, however.
That was actually how I
interpreted what Dave was saying. That makes
at least SOME business sense, as long as there aren't parts of VMS
which are required to be kept confidential in perpetuity, which
wouldn't totally surprise me (especially given how popular it is for
DoD).
Even if there are, I think it would make sense to release what they
can, even if it doesn't quite make a whole system.
Cf BSD 4.4Lite.
