I am fully aware that this would consitute software piracy but on the
same note: no one on this list is capable of legally selling me a
license for this software. You don't buy the program, you buy the
license to use it. IIRC, DEC is very picky about licensing requirments
and actually enforce it with the install program (must enter license key
just to get it started, etc)...
