>> Isn't PH pretty much out of luck (if you buy copies of MINIX and
resell them)

1) If Minix is like most other software, you license, not buy it.  The license
   may have something to say about what you do with it afterwards.  I
suspect it's
   quite reasonable.  Most licenses let you transfer them.

2) PH sells to resellers.  I can buy MINIX from Egghead, Austin Code Works, and
   many others.  I assume VARs could get the same deal.
