That's something each organization developing and deploying OpenVMS 
should think about, and should evaluate, given the SaaS licensing.

And for some organizations, the migration schedule is a bit tighter, 
as—beyond the porting-related development work—the deployments will 
have to be sourced and hardware installed and migrations performed.

And then to decide whether to start planning for or starting work 
toward better app portability, too. Or to source permanent OpenVMS 
licenses. Or to pay for a "failsafe" licensing; some form of escrow. Or 
whatever is locally appropriate.

Which is got the whole discussion going.
