i would be guessing fear, and the desire to save money.  If people perceive that 
they will be saving money by getting in early, they might go for it.  Most will not 
question the need to purchase, unless they are better informed.  

If MS or Novell, or someone else walked into a comercial business and stated 
you need to buy X ammount of licences to be legal, most would not question 
would they, especially if they thought that they were getting a special rate, and 
would avoid prosecution.

If they get some peple paying money havent the had a win ?? even if it fails in 
court ??

Oh well my 2c.
