I just went into my study and got my original snow leopard dvd (the one my sister bought) and I can't find the part that states this.
> but the license is very clear as to what machines you can install it on (i.e. only Apple hardware)
Would be nice to get a reference on that.
But ignoring this my point still stands that pjmlps comment was more a misplaced snarky remark against apple that missed the point. But hey I neither use Mac OS nor Windows (only in the circumstanced when I'm forced to offer support) so I don't really care :)
But a PS: Most hardware you buy comes with a Windows license so people who don't want to buy Windows can probably still use this.
> A. Preinstalled and Single-Copy Apple Software License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, unless you obtained the Apple Software from the Mac App Store, through an automatic download or under a volume license, maintenance or other written agreement from Apple, you are granted a limited, non-exclusive license to install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-branded computer at any one time. For example, these single-copy license terms apply to you if you obtained the Apple Software preinstalled on Apple-branded hardware.
There's also section 2B(iii), that is for copies obtained via Apple Store, that allows you to run virtual machines:
> iii) to install, use and run up to two (2) additional copies or instances of the Apple Software within virtual operating system environments on each Mac Computer you own or control that is already running the Apple Software, for purposes of: (a) software development; (b) testing during software development; (c) using macOS Server; or (d) personal, non-commercial use.
