[NTLUG:Discuss] I got this offer

[Daniel Hauck]

Technically, neither.

I had a friend who did that type of operation several years ago (is it him?
what's the email address?)  He was even selling them at the Saturday sale.
Microsoft stopped by and expressed disapproval and then much later they
busted him.  They couldn't bust him for what he was doing though...

...they busted him for use of Microsoft trademarks. :)  So if anyone does
it, just make sure it's clearly labelled and no trademarked  information is
on the label.  Otherwise, it seems to be legal at the moment.
