I got the same story from Veritas regarding what used to be called OTG DiskXtender. They vehemently denied pulling TSM support for the product and were in fact, quite interested in selling us some more licenses. They have an agreement with IBM that IBM would get the source code should Veritas decide in the future to no longer support it.

We've got two large customers running approx. 70 BMR clients, and I don't think Veritas is interested in making this customers unhappy. I also know that Tivoli has sold a large number of BMR licenses, so the product is wide spread. However, as this is a forum for TSM, a lot of people is worried, as Veritas is the formost competitor to Tivoli. As I see it, Veritas has nothing to gain by removing support for TSM in BMR. As it is now, Veritas can sell products to customers that they normally don't sell anything to, customers that belong to Veritas formost competitor.
