What does subscribing to ibm-main have to do with z/VM updates?

Yep. But *until* my license runs out, then I would like to keep

was. Sigh.

I've heard that there's a lot of discussion about PWD and Flex and
licensing going on there now.
I don't know how much of it is the pieces we already knew, which was
"no new Flex licenses" and how much of it might actually be relevant
to *my* question, which is "as a PWD user, am I entitled to z/VM
5.3?" I didn't even realize that second question *WAS* a question
until today when I started wondering whether I should order the tape
or the DVD of 5.3, and found out that the most likely answer was that
I could do neither.
But since you have to be subscribed to see the archives....
