The potential real revenue stream from VAX users with hobbyist licenses is small, but HPE should be able to put a significant dollar value on the Good Will generated by issuing perpetual licenses.
Historically the sales and marketing people at DEC, COMPAQ, HP and HPE have placed no value on customer loyalty and good will. Too many of their marketing decisions have been short sighted killing the cash cow that users created using the various flavors of RSX on PDP-11's and VMS on VAXen, AXP and Itanium.
