I can't believe I'm agreeing with Kerry, but what he cited is about what
HP did in 2014 as far as turning over the reins of VMS development to
VSI.  It was still HP, not HPE, in 2014, right?

I'm more curious about the definition of "bundled" in the announcement
of NXTware Remote being bundled with VMS a couple of years ago:

<https://www.prweb.com/releases/2016/03/prweb13299829.htm>

I'm guessing it does not mean included with your OS license but more
like the inclusion of a free trial.
