What about them?  If a computer is donated with the OS pre-installed, then
the reciever has every reason to assume that the Title to that copy of the
software is passed.  If the place doing the donating included the copy of
windows illegally, then they are the ones likely to get in trouble.

Though I do recall MS bitching about people installing Windows 3.1 on old
computers to be donated.  Even though MS refused to sell them Win 3.1, and
each of those computers probably came with a copy of it pre-installed.
