My recent experience is that there are still a lot more Notes deployments in the wild than I'd thought. It could make a kind of perverted sense for HCL to own a product a huge amount of consulting/outsourcing money is being spent on. Either to ease the decline and capture more of that marketshare (e.g. 'we own it so you should hire us to get rid of it for you') or to try and reinvigorate that product and recapture some of those captured $$$s (e.g. 'it's already deployed for you and instead of paying us big bucks to remove it, pay us medium bucks to add Feature A you really need').
