I'm sure that my use falls under the term "hobbyist"; it is strictly 
non-commercial and for fun, not even, say, anything to do with a 
non-profit organization or whatever.  There was some discussion of this 
back in the day, and I always truthfully answer the questions when 
applying for a hobbyist license.

I also bought a commercial license, with the one Alpha which I bought 
new.

I'm not an expert on commercial licenses, but I don't think that buying 
a license required one to also buy support.  In any case, it was bought 
through an official DEC reseller/partner so they are responsible if they 
forgot to demand anything of me.  :-)

I consider reading usenet (which I do on VMS) a hobby.
