It was because of one very courageous person that it became known that
VMS engineering was sacked and replaced by some indian group. HP had
explicitly told VMS engineering that silence/NDA was part of the deal
otherwise they risked losing the benefits associated with their sacking.

HP had no intentions to make the change public. And when it did become
public, all it would say was that the change would be transparent to
customers.
