Removing OpenVMS license paks

[Jason Howe]

Yes, hobbyist PAKs expire 1 year after issuance.  I wouldn't hesitate to 
pass on a VMS system with expired PAKs, it's practically a brick until you 
load some valid PAKs.

If you're really concerned about it, LICENSE DELETE * would probably work, 
but I don't have my VMS system handy to check the help file on the LICENSE 
command.
