This doesn't make any sense. Like I said, virtually everyone in the
country either has school-aged children, or can easily find one - so who
*won't* get a free MS license if this was the deal?

Last time I checked, there were deals for *teachers*, but not for kids
or their families. So the teachers find it very convenient (and cheap)
to use MS, and who cares that the kids' families need to buy all this
expensive software, or alternatively break the law.
