Microsoft has been known to sue people over doing things like that, selling software under new terms that was covered under a specific license.  Most OEM deals (which is what the MagicPack was) forbid selling outside of the original license, you'd have a better chance passing Jeff Minter through the eye of a needle ;)

Too seriously?

it was fun but you're taking it too seriously.

You might consider that for the people who slaved away writing the software that was included in the bundle, for many it was business, and in business you follow certain rules or you get sued.  This isn't the playground where you just run off and sulk (or break their nose, which ever you prefer) if someone breaks the rules, if a person, business or other legal entity breaks the law then you are entitled to recrimination.
