For those who have been following the reintroduction the INVENT3K
development machine, this is a call for Contributed Commerical Software.
I'm not talking about the Contributed Software Library (CSL) from
Interex, but rather Commercial Software that I can define in three
types:

1.  Software vendors that wish to offer a permanent "DEMO" to experiment
with. 

2.  Software vendors that would like to contribute a limited licensed
product for an "Advert" spot on OpenMPE's website or just because they
believe such a contribution would be helpful marketing.

3.  Abandonware.  Software products that are no longer being sold.
Software vendors who are no longer offering a product may consider it
like a contribution to a museum.

1. and 2. above could be handy for users on INVENT3K who could need
software tools.  Competing backup demo products could also be
interesting, operationally I would have to use different backup products
on alternating days.

(Naturally licensing for any of the above should be as appropriate.)

So many ingredients could make up the tasty "Stone Soup" that can be
INVENT3K!

Lastly this is also call for former INVENT3K and Jazz contributors (of
the non-commercial variety).  To any former contributors to Jazz and/or
the original INVENT3K machine:  If you contact OpenMPE and give us your
release, it is possible we may get HP to provide the old backups for
your former Jazz or INVENT3K contributions and we can reinstall them on
the new INVENT3K machine.   But we need your release.

Alternatively, if you retained your own INVENT3K or Jazz backups,
contact us at OpenMPE and we can reinstall it also.
