The issue is not whether IBM sanctions Hercules; in fact, IBM employees were involved in developing Hercules. Thw iaauw ia that it is illegal to run licensed software on Hercules without a license giving you the right to do so.
Note that even if IBM does decide to license, e.g., z/OS, for use on Hercules, the price may be more than you are willing to pay. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

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. -- Grant. . . . unix || die ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
