Another reading of the HP indemnification license looks like a profitable move for HP.

- Don't change anything
- Don't include any software not from your distributions core
- Don't recompile your kernel

If you don't do any of these things, the cost for HP to support your installation goes down.

There's also the fact that many companies considering Linux, who are already HP customers have incintive to purchase their Linux from HP.
