I've heard that it is a way to reliably but potentially illegally activate MSFT products. Stay away.


Nah, it's been hosted by Microsoft for years, on Github for a decade, without as much as a takedown notice, 161k stars now, they don't mind.

Hot take but legality is completely irrelevant for home use
