license program is closing
Like all large US corporations they
are dollar driven
I noticed that. I wonder how they
would feel if I were to take my VAX
to MakeFests with a notice on saying
how much they want for a licence to
actually load software and demo an
antique machine....
They would not care and it would have
no effect on their bottom

One reason could be, that it makes for
good advertising and good sentiment.
Many corps sponsor just for these reasons.
