Yes it is but I don't see why the part of Apples EULA saying you can't install MacOS on other hardware would be ruled unenforceable or invalid.
Even if that part is invalid, only people with actual Mac computers would be in the clear because that's the only way to get a copy of the OS. Apple won't sell it to you by itself. Anyone else making a hacintosh also has piracy issues to contend with.
- auslander 8y ago> only people with actual Mac computers would be in the clear because that's the only way to get a copy of the OS I have a real Mac and a hack. I can legitimately download OS, and I paid for Snow Leopard CD years ago and still have it. Am I in the clear?
- wilsonnb 8y agoIt depends on whether you think Apples EULA is valid or not. It's never been ruled on by a court as far as I know. The closest we got was the Psystar case which Apple won, so there is precedent that third parties can't install MacOS on a computer and sell it to you. I suppose it's also precedent that at least some of Apples EULA is enforceable. Personally, I think that the EULA is valid and hackintoshes are a violation. Even so, it's unlikely that Apple will sue you for it.
- auslander 8y ago> unlikely that Apple will sue you Agree, very unlikely, its not Oracle after all > that third parties can't install MacOS Well ... I'm a First party :D
