MPE Licensing
The majority of the meeting concerned the MPE licensing scheme which HP is hoping to put in place. Mike Paivinen was unable to be at the meeting, but Jeff took questions and suggestions to be relayed back to Mike. While there were concerns about various items, the proposal as a whole was well-accepted and much appreciated. The general consensus among the board was that the proposed licensing scheme provided MPE with hope for life beyond HP's end-of-support date for it.
