This could be interesting, as the UP2000s, not being DEC, may not have an
implicit hardware license. If anyone asks, we'll say we're using the licenses
from piggery and morwong, that's two CPUs ;)

I don't think we currently have a license for the volume management stuff, but
we're not really using that, as we're not using morwong as an uberdisk cluster
any more.

Sounds sane. If there look to be any problems, we can try and hook up with HP
again to try for free licensing.
