legally - Unless someone is a lawyer and is familiar with the specific
language of the license to which you are referring, all you could hope
to get is misinformed legal advice. This is pointless

morally - I think you have answered the issue of morality since you feel
that the fact that the computer that you are using has a Windows 2000
license affixed to the computer itself and that in your mind should
trump the details of the license which is in question. Personally, I
have no problems with that and if 'management' who owns the server whose
license is at issue has no problems with it, then go for it.
