No.

The PUR clearly states that OEM server software must be on server hardware.

None of these vendors are legit.

OEM versions of SBS2003 (and other Microsoft products) are widely available from vendors who appear legitimate for about 2/3 or retail price. If the software has never been installed on a system, is it legal for them to sell it (with a token piece of hardware) and legal for a business user to buy it and use it ?
Thanks
