Why don't you try and give Microsoft a call?  I think they have an 800
number, or a 900 number, I can't remember.  Ask them what the breakdown
is, and if they don't tell you, you'll know if it's illegal or not.
    Better yet, try and ask them to send you the 5.25 version, isn't there
a coupon included in the msdos 5.0 upgrade kit?
