"Remember MS has a similarly daft licence demands whereby PC refurbishers cannot reuse the Windows licence attached to the box by the OEM, they have to: completely wipe the HDD (destroying any other licenced software), remove the OEM COA and install a "Refurbished" COA; whilst also paying MS for the privilege of doing so."

What a licence says, and what is legal are not always the same thing. That's why so few licence disagreements ever end up in court. The licensors would rather settle out of court and leave everyone else thinking the licence is enforceable than have a court strike out whole chunks of it as illegal and unenforceable.
