Mentec Hobbyist plans?

The Mentec Hobbyist license is *broken*. Clause 1. says: 'EMULATOR shall mean software owned by Digital Equipment Corporation that emulates the operation of a PDP-11 processor and allows PDP-11 programs and operating systems to run on non-PDP-11 systems.' It's crystal-clear; you can't run under the hobbyist license except on a emulator which is *owned by Digital*. There ARE no emulators 'owned by Digital' (or Compaq or HP for that matter). So the Mentec license is no help to anyone who wants to run pdp-11 OSes on emulation (SIMH, E11 etc), and stay 100% legal. It's no help at all as regards running on acutal -11 hardware. It's a very wierd term to have in a license... I guess this term is a hangover from the days when Bob Supnik was still at DEC, and SIMH might have become an official DEC project.
