Interesting that on the day we're discussing whether it is legal to sell
on a MS license a UK court finds in Microsoft's favour on a case which had
that as a central arguement of the defence.

If the courts are going to follow the usual reasonableness rule I'd expect
them to hold that any company supplying licenses under the terms which
specify you can reject the license and obtain a refund from the reseller
must honour that term.
