Hi Matt! No. M$ demands to get paid for everything, regardless of how unbelievably petty it seems to the rest of the world. Their EULA would certainly prohibit anyone else from re-selling anything M$ they had been *given*. I remember *buying* a Windows 95 System Builder disk. I wanted to use it to set up machines for a *charity*, for heaven's sake. I asked permission from the Great Satan itself. The reply was "no" of course, but they did propose an alternative. I should send them $40 grand. -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ http://elect-pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
