Sorry!  I thought it was obvious.  A few lines above, there is a 
reference to a petition directed to H-P.  A million signatures, votes or
or other "Wind" will get you nowhere!  OTOH, a few thousand licenses 
sold for OpenVMS and "Layered Products" would make a big difference.

It would not be easy!  H-P is barely aware of VMS and associated Layered 
Products.  Ink and toner is where the money is!  You would
have real problems just finding someone at H-P who could sell you 
licenses for the O/S and "layered products".
