Fair use once it's posted on the web? Thank you very much for the framework to pirate anything and everything.
fun fact, windows is posted on the web: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
Microsoft would prefer that you pirate Windows rather than use Linux, as it further entrenches their dominance in the market.
They mainly make their money off of business licenses anyway, similar to Adobe and Autodesk.
There's a reason massgravel's scripts are hosted on Microsoft's GitHub platform and hasn't been taken down.
If that’s the case, then why not release a free home version??
They already have a free version of Windows. Just don't activate it.
