 out loud .  = My question is there any mechanism put in place to ensure the F longevity in the life of the hobbyist openvms project ? I mean what ifA after all the time and energy people invest in using the hobbyist E openvms some beans counters at HP suddenly realize they aren't making D any money on it and pull the plug all together leaving all the users locked out.   A Again consider it as a concern rather than a complain as I really ? appreciate the opportunity this project provided us with to use B openvms and I am grateful for the efforts of all those behind thisD project , albeit with a string attached that is to renew the license? on yearly bases and if someone decide we've had enough fun ride C suddenly stop the renewing process and lock us out !, won't that be  heart bleeding ? .   eddy   ------------------------------   End of INFO-VAX 2004.146 ************************
