Last week DEC announced that they are making DEC AVS available
from AVS Inc. I don't have the press release, but it sounded like
AVS Inc. will continue development of all versions (Ultrix, OSF/1 and
VMS) in the future. No idea if we can still buy it from DEC directly.
So if/when this goes through, I suppose, AVS Inc will provide the
same licensing scheme as other platforms.
