HP's Announcement
HP announced that MPE licenses are now right-to-use and are no longer perpetual. The use of non-HP software to change stable storage is not allowed. Some hardware restrictions have been relaxed. Discussion followed whether or not HP would enforce these new policies or not. If OpenMPE gains control of MPE, the lack of licensing enforcement would be an issue. The Board is concerned about the lack of comment from HP regarding restoring HPSUSAN numbers after a hardware failure.
