...or you could buy OS X 10.6 for $29 if you really need it.

29$ is an upgrade license only.
Yes, but it works as a standalone installation, you don't need to have 10.5 installed.
How is better to spend 29$ to break a license? Because I suposse the upgrade license needs a "base" license.
No, it doesn't physically need a base license. Buy the DVD, install the OS and that's that. To clarify what I implied: if he really likes OS X so much, he can at least pay a small amount of money to keep using it with a somewhat clearer conscience. That's what I'd do at least.
$29 for tehnical support can be a good deal.
