Didn't MS try something like this?

They embedded stuff into their code that reported back to MS your
configuration and system information.  They didn't tell anyone about it
and it caused an uproar when it was found.

We *could* do something in an open source way (which means 'everyone
would know') to 'register' linux use when there was an internet
connection on the machine, but it seems like there are some serious
privacy concerns.
