``NeXT's blessing,'' as you call it, comes in the form of a contract between
NeXT and the university.  Before ESU gets one NeXT, they must promise not to
do what you have suggested.  The contract, which varies from university to
university, specifies to whom NeXTs can be sold and how they are to be
supported and serviced.
