You're not. IBM does not, at this time, license any of their commercial operating systems for Hercules. Or any other hardware, recently.
Hercules enthusiasts generally run an old, free OS like MVT, or a free current OS (Linux for zSeries). Not that we don't beg and whine at SHARE. Or maybe that's just me.
