 That is an interesting point. Presdumably M$ are not _too_ bothered as it seems to be done under the auspices of a proper company rather than an individual, and they've not been sat on by M$.

What copyright violation.  Tiny 11 is not taking any ownership
of anyone else's property.  They are just distributing M$
own ISO with some of the unwanted stuff missing.  And they
are doing it following M$ own procedures.  Rufus is
doing exactly the same things.  M$ is fine with it.  Gets
more people of the products.  And it remains "their" (M$'s)
product.
