They just say check the license.
We did, and there's nothing there to explicitly exclude virtualization. Are we each supposed to wonder why they didn't specifically mention virtualization and then call Apple, Inc. to clarify?
The license doesn’t grant you virtualization rights of old client OS’s...Unless Apple explicitly allows for something, don’t imply that you have said right.
That, sir, is your opinion. I (and others here) think different. If you reread the license, it's chock full of
both things you may do and things you may not do. In that setting, simply not listing a use is insufficient to exclude; they took the time to exclude a litany of other uses, but we're supposed to just figure they meant virtualization, too? Apple legal accidentally left that out?? That server licensees got specific language simply assuages the server market, but doesn't change the Client EULA. I'll sleep well at night, and that's coming from a guy who pays for
all software, however miniscule, however donorware.
In any event, good debate here. That's part of what these boards are for! For my own part, I'm completely satisfied that the SL Client EULA, and most certainly the Family Pack, does not disallow virtualization, and I'm pleased that VMWare agrees.
