By the way... someone talked about talking to HP to see about getting a
"hobbyist" license or something for TSB. Please PLEASE can whoever takes up
this task... make SURE it isn't limited to the SIMH simulator like RT11 is?
I'd sure like to have it worded so my emulator can run the stuff too
legally.

What can we do to help this effort?
Since hp owns compaq which owns dec, and the vms hobbyist program
continues, this provides a possible model for hp. In this case, the
justification is even easier: The HP2000 is no longer strategic to
their organization, so they don't stand to lose anything by providing
an HP2000 hobbyist license (and they certainly gain goodwill).
