I have to wait for the EBAY Auction to end before I can comment on "It's one license for one machine, not one license for one user." with regard to 10.4.
But I appreciate your reply for its broad spectrum answer, which suggests very strongly that there is a lot of noise in the channel and no definative answer with how to interpret "Single User". Apple may not have "User" stated that way on Tiger, but given the previous poster earlier versions of MacOSX may have been offered to the public quite differently, for a host of reasons . . . but may have lead to the cause of some confusion.
I suppose you may be right in arguing that it can't be termed "Single User" as multiple Users can be logged on and so it would have to be bound to a single box.
But if you think about it youre not logging into MacOSX but Darwin which is not Apple's, i.e. like FreeBSD or NetBSD. So is it Darwin that has been altered, much like it will be for the Intel Mac next year (which I am already saving up for) so it will only run on specific kit.
