Would working on Kermit qualify as hobbyist use ?

If so, he could run an emulated Alpha system under the VSI hobbyist licence.

Unfortunately, that's about the best he could do for free as there are
no free full system emulators for Itanium I am aware of. (Ski is _NOT_
a full system emulator).

However, allowing him to build the code even on Alpha could help with
identifying general VMS issues in the code.
