I would ask them to show me where in the terms it says that.  IANAL, but
the terms describe "use" of the license and don't say anything about how
you get the license onto the system.  It seems the vmdk thing is
intended to be a way to get newbies up and running quicker, and it may
very well be good for that.  As far as I can tell the delivery mechanism
is completely orthogonal to the terms of the license.
