And tons of documents on bitsavers contain these clause.
Nonetheless we still scan, publish and use them.
Maybe we steal, but nobody complains and nobody has a financial loss.

Surely had my VMS 4.0 source code fiche pack strict licenses on it, in 1985.
Would HPE enforce these today? (I learned HPE still owns the OpenVMS VAX 
rights, VSI got Alpha, Itanium and x64).

Whom to ask?
