I found this nonsense on the Hercules mailing list: > With this news now I strongly feel that IBM is willing people to use hercules > to learn about mainframes. Why IBM till date did not take any action against hercules??
There are repeated and obvious indications that some posters are either using or trying to use z/OS under Hercules - the latest being serious enquiries about running CF code and the new zArchitecture floating point decimal instructions. If IBM succeeds with the software license infringement part of its suit against PSI, I would strongly advise Herculeans to delete, erase, dispose of, and remove all trace of IBM licensed code. It could be your source of z/OS they pick on, and the more noise you've made about it in the past, the more likely it is to be them. They only need one. LEARN from this suit - it's not the LL Beans or the Lufthansas of this world IBM is going after for license infringement - it's the original licensee; PSI. If you have an illegal copy of z/OS, it is the licensee you got it from that IBM will sue, not you. And one consequence of action is immediate revocation - how would your company survive if IBM cancelled its licenses? -- Phil Payne http://www.isham-research.co.uk +44 7833 654 800 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
