End of the day, given the any licenses for Linux based operating systems
are written in English, you can install this on as many computers as you
want,  then any computer we give away with linux on is legal,  start
installing XP for people and you are just storing up trouble and that is
just the license and single user entity issues.

If people want to replace Linux with windows that is fine I guess as
they are responsible for buying a legal version (full price) and
installing it,  End of the day there is NO come back on any of us
regarding legal issues of software.
