Gray discs won't work anyway.
Now up to $20, and buying anything from Craigslist with a promise to ship it is a very bad idea. There is no protection when you get ripped off.
You're right, these are specific system discs, not upgrades or full OS discs, although others here have claimed there are workarounds to use them on non-supported systems. I don't know how accurate that is.
100% accurate, but that same legal as torrenting (if you care about this).
Gray discs are not for resale.
I don't advocate piracy, but there is a paradox: you can legally use 10.4 because your computer is a license for it, but if you're lost Install discs, only 101% legal way to obtain a copy is to buy another license i.e. Retail disc.
As someone in another thread said, if you call Apple they will normally send you (sell?) the original system discs for your machine. However, if you're trying to install a later OS than what it shipped with, that's of no help. But you can supposedly still buy the retail OS discs from Apple, you just have to call them.

When the author releases it to the public domain. There is no such thing as "abandonware".How long until software is considered abandonware?
People in this forum get so touchy about the legality of osx.
Leopard is (without googling) a 4/5 year old OS now? Apple is worth billions of dollars.. Do any of you seriously think they care if you download or otherwise obtain an OS that they don't sell anymore? They aren't loosing out on sales.. if anything it could potentially improve sales if people like leopard on ppc they may buy a new mac.
How long until software is considered abandonware? And surley the licence says you get a copy of mac OS with any mac you purchase, so if you own or have owned a mac that came with leopard, you should be allowed to obtain a new copy if you loose yours?
Don't get me wrong, I won't be burning hundreds of disks and selling them on eBay as real versions, but I don't think its morally wrong for an individual to obtain the OS.

Well, I take it to be when the software is no longer sold, but legally it is when the author releases it into the public domain.
