Licensing agreements for large companies are generally worked out between
salesmen.
Volume license agreements, per seat licensing, downgrade rights, etc. are
all negotiable.

Also, large companies generally have a compliance division of one sort or
another to keep things mostly legal. A certain amount of non-compliance is
generally winked at when the account is large enough.
