One of my concerns was that the SIMH license seems a bit ambiguous as 
to whether or not it covers SIMH (and there was no authoritative or 
semi-authoritative opinions on the SIMH or Mentec websites). I've been 
e-mailing with someone and they have clarified that, yes, Mentec's 
correspondance/actions indicate that SIMH is still covered by the 
"Supnik license"
even though it isn't a DEC product).

Pity that there isn't an explanation on the SIMH website, but I suppose 
that Mentec doesn't want to throw money at explanations, and nobody 
else wants to pontificate in an "official" manner given the current 
state of the USA.
