So? Why does everythng have to be OpenSource? Is VMS? Is Windows? 

Windows is actively being developped by its owner.

VMS hasn't done any development on many parts of VMS in years. When was
the last time new functionality was added to TPU, just as giving the
ability to access logical name and symbol values from TPU ? (often
requestd feature in the past decades).

The portions of VMS that the VMS managemebnt and engineers do not feel
are ever going to be updated should be made opensource.


Why?

Maybe we should suggest to JF that if he has some money in the bank that he hasn't touched in years, maybe he should make it available to whoever wants to make a withdrawal?
