Excuse my ignorance, but I thought this was already resolved.  From the February 2003 NewsWire:

"HP proposes new MPE licenses for emulators

First draft of HP’s offer to cost $500; company expects to issue licenses in 2004"

So, I am assuming that HP never let emulator licensing get beyond the "draft" stage.  If that is the case, then we can also assume that HP has no intentions of ever licensing MPE in an emulated environment.

To quote my favorite author:

"What are the facts? Again and again and again - what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore divine revelation, forget what "the stars fortell", avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable "verdict of history" - what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your single clue. Get the facts!"

And:

"Never appeal to a man's "better nature." He may not have one. Invoking his self-interest gives you more leverage."
