FYI it is common for computer companies, hardware and software, to give
equipment and software to colleges. It is one of the best advertising
deals there is.

However, a local small College, which has a new Engineering Department,
was just provided complete Software Development Software for NT, plus
the NT OS upon condition that no other OS be used on Campus.

So... That's how it is done.
