[bworks_shop] Re: [bworks_staff] Rethink -- Techsoup Budget Buster

[Matthew Juneau]

I called and spoke to TechSoup to clarify how the admin fees are assessed.
Much to my surprise, it is per license and not per product.

More importantly however, I was informed that licenses granted through
TechSoup are for products which remain within the organization.  In other
words, they are not to be used for graduate or sale machines.

Now what?
