What pieces are included that allow the $50 per seat per year? Is that just for support? Why can I not legally buy 1 copy and fill a lab with it as per the GPL and various Open Source licenses for the software?

You can by (download?) a copy of NLD and install it on every machine you want. The 50$ are a bundled 1 Year of basic Support for one Seat like in Installation Support in SuSE Linux.

One thing that really interests me about NLD is the Novell edition of OpenOffice.org. Is this included on the trial version of the download? Any legal problems with moving this onto another distribution like Fedora? I was going to try it later and discover the technical problems on my own. :-)
