I guess these boards are very much promotional material (the retail price seems well below parts value). And officially reselling is prohibited, as if they could stop that (it wouldn't be legal to prohibit resale here in the Netherlands, and I doubt that it is in the USA). So they get difficult with support. I don't think it's a wise move, since they're not really hurting the reseller, but rather those new (or old) customers raring to go do something useful with the board. Not exactly good for future chip sales or customer relations ...

Hi there,
The followings are just my personal thoughts.
Now that you mention it, I seriously doubt it's legitimate to re-sell these customized boards like this because these FPGA devices were probably either given for free or charged with low cost that there must be some terms and conditions to forbid such transaction.
It's different from ordinary secondhand sale and it's the only reasonable explanation about how the seller can get them and sell them at such price, given the customer H is still around.
