Greg, My understanding matches yours to a tee.
Anecdotal comment: My wife picked up the CD I got from SHARE and installed Hercules. Next, she brought up the OS. Next, she got sarcastic and said, "they pay you to do this?". Needless to say, I did try for awhile to try and get her into systems programming but she resisted the temptation. ☹ Bob -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of Greg Price Sent: Friday, April 10, 2020 12:23 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: Bringing up skills learned on z/OS Hercules in interview?

My understanding is that IBM generally considered IBM employees to be licensed to run IBM software in the course of their work for IBM. So, for example, an IBMer wishing to see if some licensable IBM software could run under Hercules by actually trying it out would not be subject to penalty from IBM - BUT if anyone who was not working for IBM tried it then it may well be a VERY different story. Just my opinion...
