11 Walter, did you actually get a license somehow? When I look on their
12 pages unders `product licensing'. A `VMware Product Licensing' page
13 appears with no real indication of which license or even what product
14 is being discussed... at least the names do not coincide with anything
15 in portage.
16
17 Further it appears to expect the reader to already have some kind of
18 codes in hand.

20 In fact the whole setup there is massively confusing. A bewildering
21 array of products all with very similar names and no real definitions
22 of how each is different.
