Office 365 is licensed per seat/account, but each account has a 5 device limit. Do you think it's fair game for an enterprising person to sub license each account to 5 people, 1 device each?

But if it's intended to be used by one person, it seems like breaking the contract by sublicensing it out to dozens of other people. It's like buying a netflix subscription for $15, then sublicensing it on a per-hour basis to doze
