I always thought that the primary purpose of LMF was a 'light touch' way 
of making sure that compaies kept up with their licensing, even if the 
company was a bit disorganised.

Why on earth HP couldn't have generated perpetual PAKs for VAX, I don't 
know. Incompetence is by far the most likely reason - well, and 
disinterest.
