Totally agree. The licensing is ridiculously opaque and complex.
As a simple example: If I understand correctly, BizSpark lets you install a couple of copies of Office and use it for regular word processing tasks within your startup. However, you cannot install the BizSpark Windows 8 desktop license -- those are only for testing and development. I think. There's no indication of any restrictions on the license key download page.
