they sits on that legacy IP as if anybody cared, i was in the hobbyist program and they screwed it. I was able to download and setup all their products, and now i cant do even that, the only option is to re-download and re-setup an VM image every 6 month or so.

really "user friendly". and then they're wining that nobody contributes to the opensource for VMS.

Yep, one of the first versions of the x86 version one could download everything and it was planed to renew the license once a year. They then canceled the the license after only one year to provide a new image every year (as if i want to reconfigure my system every year).

That's not how you attract dev's or users.
