2. VAX-PSI Version 4.3
The system on which the products probably will be installed, is an
MicroVAX 3100.
The operating system release is VMS 5.5-2H4.
DEC, sorry, i mean Compaq :-( , was not able or willing to deliver them
to us.
The CDs have been originally delivered between 1991 - 1993.
Can anybody help us and borrow us the CDs we need? We will copy and send
them back at once.

race, crash in my second, destroy four cars in my third and get banned from
my fourth. People are going to think I'm some kind of nutter." - Eddie

I don't know the legal ramifications of borrowing the CDs and installing
directly from them (or buying them), but copying the CDs (which you imply
above you will do) is definitely illegal. (I'm assuming you have a valid
licence for each of those products - even if COMPAQ won't supply the CDs the
licences are available).
You should also make sure that you have the last set of updates available (i.e
PSI V4.3A and WANDD V1.2B).

Picking a CD at random from my pile I read:
"The software on this media is proprietary to and embodies the confidential
technology of Digital Equipment Corporation. Posession, use, duplication or
dissemination of the software and media is authorised only pursuant to a valid
licence from DIGITAL or an authorised sublicensor"
From which I assume that I can copy this software provided I have a licence
for it.

Whereas, being perhaps somewhat more cautious, I would interpret it as:
"If I have a licence to copy, I can copy"
"If I have a licence to use, I can use"
etc.
The only licence I've seen lately is effectively a "right to use" licence.
There used to be something called a "right to copy" licence where, if you
already had product X licenced on site for machine A then you could purchase a
"right to copy" licence for machine B (which was cheaper than buying a new set
of media for machine B). Given the way CD distribution works these days, I
don't think "right to copy" licences exist any more.
