IBM okay with this? Suprised to hear that this was going on in a public
event. In the past you haven't been able to emulate OS/360+ without license,
iirc.

I haven't touched mainframe for a few years, but I know that within a handful
of years ago, I was looking at licensing z/OS for an application,
and I recall some discussion around emulation, licensing and the like that
gave our team a bit of headache.

You can do whatever you want - as long as you don't sell it or distribute it.
It's only then that you run afoul of Copyright/Patent laws.

But I know that IBM did make emulators for many of their smaller mainframe
systems. I knew of a project that ran a IBM System 36 emulator on an IBM-AT
class machine.
