That link is blue (similar to hyperlink) but it doesn't have Terms & Conditions or other text that defines a legal agreement. Unclear what is being asked or agreed.

Only after you've agreed to it does it popup the text "This development board can be only used for prototyping, it cannot be built into a product for commercial distribution. It cannot be re-sold or used as part of a production environment."

I suspect adding anything about restrictions was a last-minute job for Seeed, and it's probably not something given too much effort on their part. Realistically, an $85 devboard isn't going to end up being built into production items. And they're probably going to be a low enough quantity item for Seeed that they can manually look into any instances where someone has ordered more than 3 or 4 and just stop sending any more to them if it really rises up to being enough of a problem for Microsoft to complain.
