Well, if you have the time and inclination, it would be interesting to
see that statement clarified. Either they're talking rubbish, or there
really is some hidden sub-clause of a bizarre microsoft license
somewhere that actively prohibits you. In which case, a lagal opinion on
the validity of the license, a post to Groklaw and the newspapers and
the local MP would be in order :-)
