needs to be "publically accessible" on the internet.
Since HP has abandonned new developpement of VAX, and since it no longer
sells new VAXen, making VAX kits publically available for download would
not hurt HP revenus in one bit.
HP employees have often said that VAX customers are not interested in
upgrading. So if they haven't upgraded to 7.3 by now, they aren't going
to upgrade to 7.3 ever. Hence no loss of revenu at all.
That VMS for VAX is not generating revenue for HP does not give
anyone the right to distribute it to everyone.
Heck. HP could just seed some BitTorrent site with the VAX distribution.
Oh, I forgot, there is no Bittorrent client for VMS.
I would expect the Java one's to run on VMS. Are you saying that
they don't ?
