As much as I love GoG and despise Legal-ese I find the GoG USer Agreement painfully vague, unclear and contradictory.

My main issue is I'd like to install my GoG games on to my children's computer for them to use, and do so with the absolute blessing of the GoG legal team.

The GUA has the often used but legally vague "Personal Use" clauses. Google it and you'll find yourself descending a rabbit hole with no clear definition. NO I didn't mean Fair Use.

There is also this often quoted, but actually vague FAQ answer So I can install Witcher on my 7 year old sons computer, but he can't play it. Nor should he.... violent evil game. Being a responsible parent I'll install Rayman instead, but can he play it? Do I have to stand behind him for the duration?

I'd like a nice blue answer, even better would be an update to the Legal Agreements.

Nonsense!

I let my daughter play Witcher all the time.

She loves it!

Yes, your son's computer is under your roof. He and it are part of your household. It's fine.

you would let your 7 year old son play the witcher????

The GOG staff have stated on numerous occasions that you can install GOG games on any machine in your household that you own. I believe the official analogy is along the lines of "so if you happen to have a render farm in your basement, you can break the world record for most legal installations of UT2004 under one roof".

Just let the kid play the game already!

Or at least share with him the enjoyment of installing and reinstalling a game, which GOG granted you so graciously.

I think a lot of the ambiguity has to do with the user.

Has anyone ever seen an ominous or questionable post from mechmouse? XD

I seriously doubt anyone at GOG would have any problems with him of all people putting his games on multiple systems. YEAH! I have kids! NOT

Man, can you imagine the terror of that! :O

ok ok

Yes but me installing a game is not the same as some one else playing the game. I don't doubt they wouldn't have an issue. But it would be nice to have a clear answer.

I'm fairly certain it said "Fallout" until that game was removed.

It now says witcher.... it is also the very clause I quoted in my OP.

As I said Install does not equal use.
You could have 30 installations of Office installed in a company but only 20 licences and not be breaking the law, as long as only 20 are used at any time.

I'd say you're good. And I'd be very surprised if you got an official reply stating the contrary.

Worst case, if it really bothers you that much, you could always buy some extra copies of certain games ( during a promo, ideally ). Whatever works for you.

Not really. As long as those machines are functional, in case of an inspection, they would be checked as part of your company. If some illegal use of software is found on them, you are in trouble, including 10 of those licences, even if you have 20 on other computers.

Same goes with games. You will probably not hear an GOG official telling you that it's ok to give copies of your games to your family because you will be able to "trick" the system. You would throw an copy over an P2P site and you would say that you put that there in order for your kid to download and it was not your intention for other 200 people to take it. So, in order for them to be covered, they treat "personal use" as personal use. You own the rights to play that game, not your family.

In practice, let's be real. How is anyone gonna find out? You will call the authorities to denounce the illegal use of the copy by your kid? GOG will surely not have anything to object, but they are not gonna tell you that you can do that in their Terms. It's something minor, that we can all overlook.

Since your son is too young to have an account, not to mention purchase any games, I think you can consider your account a parental one until he is 13 years old.
