Laptops & Non returning faculty

After a teacher has taught for 2 years at our school, ownership of their
"school" laptop passes to them - ie, when they leave, they get to take it
with them. If you have a similar situation, how do you handle the removal of
site license software? Do you forcibly remove it? Or do you have teachers
sign some document that essentially says they will remove it themselves?
(With few tech people, we'd like to just have them sign something, but is
that good enough?)
And does this apply to the operating system too? We've ghosted these
machines using OUR licensed version of XP...

Thanks for your thoughts -
