Interesting.  The email I got had the subject of "x86 Community License Program Announcement", but inside it did say "Welcome to the VMS Software, Inc. OpenVMS on x86 Field Test Program!".  I have a vague recollection of checking a box on some page saying I'd be interested in a field test, if so, it was quite a while ago.  I was pretty early in registering for the CLP so maybe ey are going by order of registration.  No clue.
