Not to be picky, but HP is the new company that split form original HP and now only focusses on PC's, Printers, end user stuff.

HPE is the other half of the split that focuses on the Enterprise side of the business.

With the exception of supercomputer platforms (HPE bought SGI), HPE no longer views OS platforms as strategic, so licensing terms from a platform 25+ years ago is likely going to get as much interest internally to HPE as a fly in a swamp.
