    Licensing impact
    • Customers have access to both HPE Juniper Networking and HPE Aruba Networking products from one company, under the HPE Networking business led by Juniper's former CEO.[2][3]
    • The DOJ settlement requires HPE to divest its global Instant On campus and branch WLAN business, including customer relationships, to a DOJ-approved buyer within 180 days, so Instant On customers will move to a new vendor.[1]
    • The settlement also requires an auction of a perpetual, non-exclusive licence to Juniper's AI Ops for Mist source code with optional transitional support, which does not change existing Mist customers' licences but affects which vendors may offer similar functionality.[1]
