Quite frankly, I would advocate for you to NOT bring back any web site
related to porting open source software to OpenVMS -- or provide any of
your time or effort to port said software -- unless VSI reinstates a
reasonable (installation media and LP kits) community license program.

They have now demonstrated that they do not care about competent people
who may be interested in OpenVMS, and as such the community shouldn't
give VSI free resources.

Obviously what you do with your time and energy is up to you, but I'd
strongly encourage you and everyone else VSI may be relying on for free
labor to take a stand.

Thanks,
Matthew
