Since Andrew seems interested in doing this legally (or else he would have just made a copy of someone else's software and been done with it) I have to ask: Are Windows licenses even transferable? I heard that they were not. There was even the case of a charity redistributing machine with Windows on them and Microsoft went after the charity saying that the license was not transferable. Some googling suggests that the OEM Win2k license states that it is non-transferable. So be sure to read the license carefully. - -- Tracy R Reed http://ultraviolet.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFtGZS9PIYKZYVAq0RAhgxAJ0QvLgu3jViOsNVZyDAqnIlkCZ64gCfX5jY GNYwZHPjEjVaxwV9hy5/eEQ= =Qq8E -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
