Windows Licensing and Online Games

[NeedToKnow]

The EULA says only 10 other computers can connect to a
Windows XP Professional computer.
The Windows 2000 Server Licensing states I need an
Internet Access License if the application I am running
requires access to the file system.

What is Microsoft's official position on licensing and
running game servers such as Battlefield:1942® or Unreal
Tournament 2004® ?
