Lion from App Store?

Depending on the license you buy you will probably only be able to use one mac at a time (which ever one is signed into the app store with your apple ID).
Unlikely, the version you download from the MAS at the moment (for devs) has no copy protection. And anyway, MAS apps can be installed and used on as many macs as you want at a time, provided they all have your apple ID. Why would Lion be more restrictive?
Agreed - one of the big selling points of the App Store was downloading software onto all your Macs. I can't see them putting in a special restriction for Lion alone.
I am living with my girlfriend and I was wondering if I could now simply take my Lion install disc and install it on my girlfriends mac. Obviously this will work but what about my Apple ID? Is this copy then restricted to using only my apple ID with the app store or can she simply use her own Apple ID? What happens in the case of breaking up? Legally she would probably would have to remove it but we can neglect that at this point but is this installation in any way attached to my Apple ID? Usually you can't download any software from the App Store and use it with different computers. thanks.
edit: let's put it in a different way. what if I were to sell my MPB? Can I actually sell it with Lion installed on the machine?
