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?
My understanding is that Hercules is perfectly legal and
ethical. However, running an unlicensed, copyright
operating system (such as z/OS) is quite a different story.
So, as people said, running MVS 3.8 under Hercules is fine,
but any later OS is problematic.
