    John is giving it away to Tom because John has a bunch of windows keys and cds the school gave him.

    So John has no use for them and is giving it away to someone who needs an update from xp.
    John needs to check with the school to see if this is "legal".

    My company also gives its employees copies of MS SW to use -- but they clearly state that SW is for personal use only -- not to be sold or distributed.

    John's school may have similar restrictions on SW they give to folks.

    Hey everyone!
    (going to use fake names of course)

    My question is, if my friend John gives his friend Tom a copy of Windows 7 and
    John got it free from his school, will Tom get in trouble?

    Not sure if you guys understand what I mean.
    If not let me know please.
    Tom needs to choose his friends more carefully!!
