The problem is that the authoritative answer can only come from IBM. There
have been users in the past outside IBM who were authorized to run z/OS on
Hercules, but in the absence of anyone stepping up and saying that they were
authorized, IBM's all that's left. In the past, people who have claimed to
be authorized to run z/OS on Hercules have been hounded as to the details,
to the point thye've been run off from the group entirely.
