From Apple Store online:
* The Family Pack Software License Agreement allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple software on up to a maximum of five (5) Apple-labeled computers at a time as long as those computers are located in the same household and used by persons who occupy that household. By “household” we mean a person or persons who share the same housing unit such as a home, apartment, mobile home, or condominium, including student members who are primary residents of that household but reside at a separate on-campus location. This license does not extend to business or commercial users.
It's an interesting setup. It doesn't give you 5 license keys or anything because there still aren't any license keys. They've been doing this multi-pack since at least Tiger and maybe even for Panther before that. Basically, it's a way for them to get a few more bucks because people will be more honest with that kind of price break. Even two Macs upgraded gets a price break that way.
Officially, what you are talking about with coworkers is not covered, unless you are sharing a house with them.
