According to a later Register story they have removed this requirment. Apparently what they really ment to

Yes, I can give away my computer, but remove and keep my sound card, should I wish. I just say "No sound card".
Maybe I missed the point.
Do the soundcard manufacturers say on their sites that if you donate your PC to a school it's illegal for you to give them the PC without the soundcard? Thought not.
