tell "someone i know" they are no doubt downloading pirated/bootleg/promotional-copy pre-release software and that if they want to use fc express they should *buy it*

yeah, but what does that "not for resale" mean? i'm wondering where these software leaks come from.....someone from an Apple store? or did someone copy it off of a computer at macworld? or it a beta that someone inside apple let out?
just curious how the software gets ripped off so quickly. can you even buy it yet?

NFR (Not For Resale) versions are copies of software that the developer distributes at a discounted or free rate for promotional reasons.
Typical examples of NFR distribution are media copies (software developer sends a free copy to a journalist/reviewer for a review), and in-house demo copies (developer gives free/discounted copy to a store so they can demonstrate it to potential buyers).
I don't know about Keynote, but I wouldn't be surprised to find that the free copies of Keynote distributed to MacWorld Keynote attendees is a NFR copy. In which case the copy you... <cough> umm.. your friend... installed is an illegal copy.

Don't know? Oh boy, good luck to you!
