Right.  So if you were to get a court order from a judge permitting the 
transfer of PAKs and overruling the line in the contract on the PAK that
prohibits it, the vax licensing problems would go away.

And my suspicion is that if one were to take HPE to small claims court 
requesting invalidation of that line, that HPE would likely not even send
a representative because they don't really care about the vax product.

But until someone actually does that, we have to abide by the rules in
the contract.
