I'm putting this back on techies@lists to get some advice from the others on
the list.

We have OEM licenses, and the legality of selling those is questionable.  I
know it's legal in Germany, and I _think_ it's legal in Canada, but I'm not
sure.  Maybe there's a Clean North member who's a lawyer who would check up
on that for us.

Also, as of June 30, Microsoft will cease releasing patches (security and
otherwise) for NT4, so we wouldn't be doing you any favors by selling them
to you.  So, regardless of the legality, I think it might be unethical to
sell them.

I'm really fishing for opinions from others on the list with this message,
though, so please chime in.
