This is new to me. I've heard of Hercules, but I never heard that it is considered, or that IBM would like it to be considered, an illegal counterfeit. Is there any ethical reason for that viewpoint? No, forget "ethical"; I guess I can make up my own mind about that (and there'll never be a consensus on it). Is there any ~legal~ basis for the assertion?

I think that mentioning Hercules in the specific context of MVS 3.8j or S/390 Linux or other free / non-licensed OSs is probably okay. Doing so in a way that shows that you understand and respect the licensing situation is probably a good thing. --- On 4/9/20 10:55 AM, scott Ford wrote: > Until Hercules is sanctioned by IBM I wouldnt mentioned it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
