And check out part where is says "In addition, the OpenVMS Hobbyist Program offers kits containing OpenVMS Base O/S software and selected Layered Products via download." I know this is something that's been asked about on several occasions, and HP has finally taken it to heart. This should also allow the Hobbyist Program to provide a lot more Layered Products that previously available.

Where exactly is the part that says "In addition..."? I don't see it on the referenced license registration page.

Is the web site OpenVMS.org down or gone?

It's being relocated to a facility provided by VMS Systems, Inc - the new development home of our favorite O/S. It should be available again soon.
