*NOTICE* IANAL!  This sounds exactly like tax fraud!  He wants to claim 
to have spent some amount of money for this OS on his taxes, when in 
fact he has spent nothing.  He then wants to split that savings with the 
"person" who may (or may not have) actually "supplied" him with the OS 
for no cost to him.  Sounds like a combination of tax fraud and money 
laundering to me.  But, then again, I Am Not A Lawyer....
