Rumor has it that Lyle Bickley may have mentioned these words:
While it's true that OS/390 and z/OS are licensed
products - IBM has released
MVS 3.8J including JES3 for non-comercial use:

Holy crap. If only I had time to get out my old EDS dox on that stuff... I
used to use VM, MVS & OS/400 (and diddled on a few *early* suns) on various
big iron back in '89-90... IBM 3090's, Amdahl 3890's and they had a few
massively overworked AS/400's...
Lotsa 100 MIPS boxen w/128M to 512Meg RAM there - that was when 3 MIPS in a
home computer was *booming*. ;-)
