There have been times when there was  no response from HP for
extended periods of time.  And, we now have the VAX debacle.
No one is going to audit a Hobbyist System so there is little
if any chance of it becoming a problem.

Production systems on the other hand...

You know, our legal department refused permission to sign
the license for the last Edu Program offered by HP.  I
hardly expect they would have allowed generation of our
own licenses using pakgen.c.
