I have an RT11 license in my (or a company) name, in a folder
somewhere along with numerous licenses from companies I have bought
systems from in the past. I don't think they are assigned to a serial
number, but some of the newer ones might be.

So now we know.
On Linkedin one David Carroll lists himself as owner of xx2247 LLC and
former employee of Mentec. Well I must have missed the posts on this list as
I can say that?s news to me. At least someone does own the rights and that
can only be a good thing.

It's a mystery .. no one seems to know.
Quite a few people on this list know, and they have said it several
times on this
list. The rights were bought from Mentec by XX2247, LLC
I think Dave has been busy with other things, though.
I get the impression that he seems to like to stay out of sight. I
typically forward requests like Earl's onto a Reseller I know (which
I just did with his message).
I've pointed out in the past that the fact that there is a rights
holder needs to be advertised, as a lot of people can't figure out
who to contact.
