Apple Mac OS X Mavericks dentro da Virtual Box

Question

BEGIN EDIT

In view of the Software License Agreement (SLA) posted by MariusMatutiae, which documents the fact that Mac OS X is licensed to run only on Apple-branded hardware, and can only be installed on a single computer, I wonder, since the Mavericks version is free, does this mean it can now be installed on any number of computers starting from a single download? But more importantly, and here is what puzzles me: I have a version of VirtualBox on Windows 7 that shows the option to install Mac OS X, even though Apple seems to not allow this. However, I strongly doubt that my version of Oracle Virtual Box is illegal, or Apple would have followed suit. Can someone please clarify THIS issue?

Please see the screenshot below, which shows Mac OS X selected for install inside a Virtual Box running on Windows 7:

END EDIT

Tenho algumas perguntas sobre a virtualização do Mac OS X e do SO.

A.

Dadas todas as restrições legais impostas pela Apple aos produtos da Apple, Eu gostaria de saber se é legal instalar o novo e livremente Apple Mac OS X Mavericks para download no Oracle Virtual Box.

B.

E quanto às versões mais antigas do OS X, como o Mountain Lion?

C.

Quantas máquinas posso instalar? E se eu não usar o Mac para que o sistema operacional é baixado, mas só usá-lo no Virtual Box, e prefere para, digamos, instalar o Linux no computador Mac para que ele não se torne inutilizável devido à política de licença de usuário único e me executando o OS no Windows 7 dentro do Virtual Box?

D.

Eu tenho um PC executando o Windows 7, mas gostaria de desligar o sistema operacional por um segundo tinha Mac que estou planejando comprar para esse propósito. Como devemos proceder copiar o sistema operacional para um ISO para que eu possa instalá-lo no Windows 7? Eu não estou familiarizado com Macs e não sei qual software usar para o propósito, nem para onde o sistema operacional é baixado (como um .app executável, .gz ou .zip ou qualquer outro arquivo). Se alguém pudesse fornecer alguma orientação com o processo que eu sinceramente aprecio isso.

Obrigado.

    

Answer 1

O SLA Snow Leopard declara textualmente:

2. Permitted License Uses and Restrictions. A. Mac OS X Server Software. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, you are granted a limited non-exclusive license to install and use one copy of the Mac OS X Server software (the “Mac OS X Server Software”) on a single Apple-branded computer. You may also install and use other copies of Mac OS X Server Software on the same Apple-branded computer, provided that you acquire an individual and valid license from Apple for each of these other copies of Mac OS X Server Software. You agree not to install, use or run the Apple Software on any non-Apple- branded computer, or to enable others to do so. This License does not allow the Mac OS X Server Software to run on more than one computer at a time, and, except as expressly set forth in Section 2C, you may not make the Apple Software available over a network where it could be run by multiple computers at the same time. Please note that the Apple Software is supported only on Apple-branded systems that meet the specified system requirements as indicated on the outside of the Mac OS X Server packaging. If you transfer software from one Apple-branded computer to another Apple-branded computer, please remember that continued use of the original copy of the software may be prohibited once a copy has been transferred to another computer, unless you already have a licensed copy of such software on both computers. You should check the relevant software license agreements for applicable terms and conditions.

Outros SLAs são idênticos, a esse respeito. Como você vê, você só pode executá-lo em hardware da marca Apple. Isso responde a todas as suas perguntas, eu acredito.
