There's nothing technical though to prevent sharing.

At present SideTrack is incompatible with Leopard. Your built-in keyboard will be disabled (external USB keyboards will operate normally).

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.
Officially, what you are talking about with coworkers is not covered, unless you are sharing a house with them.

installing leopard on slower macs (i.e powerbook g4 dvi 667)
sorry to bump such an old thread but for those of you that have a mac whose clock speed is too slow to "allow the leopard install c/d to run.......
there is a freeware program called leopardassist which will "trick the mac" into thinking it has a higher clock speed so you can install leopard (resetting the pram on the restart after install reverts the clock speed back) but there are some macs which are not supported by leopardasssit
case in point is goalie-mom's powerbook g4 dvi 667mhz 768mb ram but i found these instructions here (and note there are spaces in the commands)
it worked like a charm! took about 90 minutes to install but it runs as fast as it did under tiger and everything works.
and remember, back up before you do it

For those with 667Mhz PowerBooks (Or possibly other Macs that don't work with LeopardAssist):
1.) Place the 10.5 Install disk in your drive.
2.) Restart your Mac (don't use on the installer on the disk)
3.) After the chime, hold down COMMAND+OPTION+O+F until you see a light gray screen with black text
4.) let go of the keys and type in the following commands EXACTLY as shown, and hit the RETURN key after each line (you will see an "ok" confirming what you typed was correct):
dev /cpus/PowerPC,G4@0
d# 867000000 encode-int " clock-frequency" property
d# 867000000 encode-int " min-clock-frequency" property
d# 867000000 encode-int " max-clock-frequency" property
multi-boot
Select Leopard Install DVD
