I just had an e-mail exchange with HP's licensing contact,
Madi Braje, as listed on the licensing web page:

I was trying to see if I could get the original VMS license
for the XP1000 I bought transferred to me. Since I am going
to be using it to play with Apache, etc., I mentioned that if
the license couldn't be transferred I would just use the
hobbyist license. However, it now appears that the hobbyist
license program has been abolished. Madi wrote:

R.I.P.
