Sure. I'll be happy to ignore you. But just for anyone else, here is the
exchange I had with Dan on the topic.
So noone else have to repeat the same thing.

Your question was:
"What would HPE do if the pak they released were posted anonymously with
the termination date removed?"
That seemed to imply that you were thinking that it was possible to
"modify" the PAK.
My response was:
"You need to generate a different PAK. You cannot change any field in an
existing PAK and still have a valid PAK. The checksum will (obviously)
change."
In which way was that overly arrogant, talking down to you like you were
stupid or something. In which way was that "massive attitude"?
Or, to put it another way:
I simply responded wanting to confirm if you understood that it was not
possible to "modify" the PAK, but that you in fact have to create a new
PAK, which have nothing to do with the HPE PAK.
So the question is really, what would HPE do if someone starts sending
out their own PAKs for HPW products.
It has nothing to do with their (ie. HPE) PAKs.
But you certainly is showing a lot of attitude to my response.
But that is your problem. Not mine. Just as any response from HPE would
be your problem, not mine.
Some countries might not care what HPE thinks or does. Sure. Does that
change what HPE thinks or does? No idea. Seems unlikely that it would
stop HPE to try and protect their property where they can. But that
would be pure speculation on my part.
If you want to move to Russia, go ahead. Also not my problem.

my question was very clear and concise, and you have yet to provide a
valid response, not that your opinion has any weight any longer.

I did feel it was a bit deceptive to phrase the question as if it would
be a modification of a HPE PAK.
You obviously felt then that this was a fine way to pose the question.

Sure. But then the question should properly be "What would HPE do of
people post arbitrary PAKs"? Because it is not any PAK HPE have released.

You need to generate a different PAK. You cannot change any field in an
existing PAK and still have a valid PAK. The checksum will (obviously)
change.

You need to make sure you put valid information in the form and make
sure you put something reasonable in the "How do you use the Hobbyist
Program?" question.
If you don't have a Chapter number, go to (via ssh)
eisner.decusserve.org <http://eisner.decusserve.org> and log in with
the username of REGISTRATION and follow the prompts. That gets you
registered in the US DECUServe chapter (all nationalities are
welcome) and gets you a valid member number for registration. You
may have to wait a week or two for the number to become active at HPE.

Thanks.
