I told my friend shortly thereafter (sorry, should have also submitted it to HN in hindsight), who then looked at the site and product features/comparison and costs(http://www.codeweavers.com/products/differences/ http://www.codeweavers.com/products/differences/), and for the last several hours has been building up a huge repository of serials.
Asking him what he intends to do with all the licenses, he replied "they come with full technical support from the company, so I will ebay each for $1, build up a fantastic ebay profile to market my other products and make $$$".
Most of this is done automatically, from harvesting the serials to automated auction listing and delivery, but none the less it seems extreme to me.
BUT, I guess, that is what being opportunistic and exploiting all the verticals is about. :-/
