Not sure that would be the case since it also includes this part > that is already running the Apple Software Running Linux on Apple hardware would not follow that part of the EULA.

      Back in 'ye olden days, people used to print out programs... nay, they even used to _hand-write!_ programs before they began typing, because keyboard-time was valuable (nevermind compilation/computation/debugging time). Serial ports were slow, grep wasn't really a thing, so having a printout (or "listing") of your program was a more efficient way (or only way!)to debug your program after the fact. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJGrie7k97c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJGrie7k97c Back in the 90's, I had some programming classes in high school where there were 30 chairs, but 15 computers (around the edge)... bring your own 360kb floppy disk! So you had a real incentive (and a strict teacher) who insisted that you wrote out your program ahead of time, show it to her for a first-pass/feedback, and _then_ you'd get to go type it on the computer and see if it worked. Submissions were via printouts (of the program, aka "listing", along with the output) which she then took home and graded. The whole document IMHO is worth a read, but is definitely a product of it's time (70's/80's/90's). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tao_of_Programming https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tao_of_Programming Stick tongue firmly in cheek, empty your cup, and enjoy the ride! Edit: ...and the relationship to the cantankerous original comment who "couldn't figure why they'd want to run OSX?", this is the zen-koan sarcastic response of: "use it as a platform for development" (ie: stack your papers on top if it)

  Some unfortunately needs Xcode for building iOS or macOS apps locally even if you are coding in unity, flutter, react native, qt, unreal

I believe it matches the base term, as you are allowed to run only one copy of the Apple software on an Apple hardware, unconditionally. It could be in a VM.

  And I guess once you've booted the VM, you are suddenly permitted to boot two more, as long as you have a lawyer on retainer just in case.
