HPE sets end date for hobbyist licenses for OpenVMS

Article note: This is sad, the corpse of DEC (and also IBM) really should be making their platforms as accessible as possible for hobbyists, students, historians, etc. and they're headed in the opposite direction. There are good lessons to be learned from playing with weird platforms, and some of those lessons turn into future professional usage. This especially sucks for folks keeping historical VAX systems running, it sounds like VSI might get their shit together for a new program for Alpha and Itanium but no indications they'll even try for VAX.
