>From that list, I have actual licenses for HL2, CS:S, Warcraft 3, and
StarCraft.  One thing we could consider is having the CDs available to
check out, but install the games on each PC.  That way, when someone
wants to play a game, they come to the front desk and sign out for the
disc, then return it when they're finished.  Cedega supports copy
protection properly on most of those games, so this would be feasible
and we could avoid having to use no-cd cracks which are of
questionable legality anyway (I fully support them in theory, but I
don't think their legal status has ever been actually tested).
Vanilla Wine won't support most of the copy protection methods used by
many of those games.  Cedega doesn't support SecuROM 7 at the moment,
which is used by the version of Dawn of War that I have (the Gold
Edition).

Crediting Transgaming for the licenses would be appreciated as well.

FYI - my personal machines that will be used at the event will likely
have quite a few more games than that list available.
