cjrgreen: They have a "household rule".
FAQ: 9. Can I install one game both on my laptop and desktop computer at home?
Yes. We do not limit the number of installations or reinstallations, as long as you install your purchased games on computers in your household. So yeah, if you've got a render-farm in the basement, you might actually break the world record for the number of legal Fallout installations in one household. However, if you think about installing your game on a friend's machine or sharing it with others then please don't do it, okay?
Depends on how far you're willing to go in considering your roommates and their computers to be your "household". I don't think it's their intent, though you could argue it's within the letter of the rule.
Anyway, as long as your friends bought GOG licenses for the games (that is, you're not stretching the truth: they're not just meaning to buy GOG licenses, they actually bought them; they're not thinking they're entitled to GOG licenses because they have a physical or Steam copy of the game), I don't think they'd have a problem with it, but the administrators are the only ones who could give an official answer.
You guys are all overlooking the fact that he bought 3 copies. So even if they live in different houses it's legal.FAQ: 9. Can I install one game both on my laptop and desktop computer at home?
