Sure, you can pay for an EA which is astronomically expensive, but it's easier to manage. Trying to manage Microsoft licensing when you are on a tight budget is very complicated and time consuming. Most companies just ignore the licensing because it's too complex. And those that sincerely try to pay Microsoft and stay legal, end up overpaying because of the complexity. This is why I switched to Linux and open source, NO LICENSING costs or tracking... none, period. This is a huge bonus, and allows us to focus on our business, rather than paying companies like Microsoft.
