Well, now and then, I might be considered one of those hobbyists.  A hobbyist 
license is not necessary.  All my licenses are real licenses, valid, and legal. 
Talking VAX and Alpha.
I do have an itanic with a real license, however, I did not attempt any license 
transfers.  Hasn't been powered up in years, and perhaps will never be powered 
up.  Too noisy, too power hungry, and of low interest to me.

My point is, a hobbyist license isn't necessary.  But it would be nice for 
hobbyists who do not have valid licenses.
