Legally Running z/OS on Hercules   Message List

Re: [hercules-advocacy] Re: Legally Running z/OS on Hercules

People DO run z/OS. Getting a License is the only issue. IBM decided
to sue PSI, and stopped issuing / renewing Flex-ES licenses, stranding
a lot of Independent System Vendors without a mainframe.

Scott, Firstly the rules have changed. The case was that if you had a P/390 you were allowed to run the software on the physical PC with the P/390 card in it....
