It just boggles my mind that the plain English, or the Queen's English if you're a Canucklehead like me, is right freaking there.
Seriously.
Exactly. You just listed why in zero possible way can you be confused. It's plain as day that there is nothing that applies to Avimark.
Why are you arguing that it can be used and showing that it can't?
I'm done with this.
I've verified my interpretation as well as AVIMark's mini-setup as being valid.
Cognitive Dissonance. I suggest looking it up.

"My interpretation". It reminds me of people saying this is 'my truth'. Instead of 'the truth'.

The story of morals vs morals and Risk vs Reward
Guy A - It must be run Sever OS
Well, Guy A then just offer that service. Quote the Microsoft licensing as you know it, and let the customer decide. No need to be a crusader and convince everyone to have the same moral standard of black and white. It's admirable that you have a strict moral standard and won't perform the work. In reality, though alot of the world functions in gray.
Guy B - Save the customer money
Microsoft is a bully and my customer is small and working on thin margins. You know the risk is super low for an audit and probably even lower if they buy windows OS elsewhere. You probably end up doing what's best for customer, but also potentially risk your own neck. Nothing will happen to a customer with 6 employees. They will get a warning at best

The world functions in gray. When is that a justification for acting immorally?
So the justification is, Microsoft is a big corporation with evil people so it's okay to steal from them or you won't get caught and if you do the trouble you will be in is small.
Please remind me to never let you in my house... Honestly, working with clients who justify stealing based on the fact that they either have a crappy business plan or who they are stealing from is a big faceless corporation will bite you in the ass when they pull the same dishonestly with you.

Amazingly, the OP of the secret post actually followed up and said he misunderstood what they were discussing and thought Avimark was files, not a server product. He apologized and said yes, for sure, Avimark (and applications like it) definitely violat the EULA and require a Server License and CALs for deployment.

Very impressive, so few people are actually looking to research and learn, just to argue. Kudos to him.
