Don't want to start a flame-fest, so I tried to e-mail but our 
wonderful mailer says:

So, here goes, in public even :-)!

Sorry, but it goes like this. I may purchase anything I like. I
may then do whatever I want with it, as long as it is for my use.
I can legally purchase MAC OS ROMS and then use the code
contained therein as a basic of an emulator.

If I purchase something, it is mine to do with as I please. Such
a 'license' is non-sense. If you look at the shrinkwrap license
on the disks, you will find out that the disks contain the usual
garbage about the media itself being warrented and not the
programs, ad nauseum. I can purchase software and again run it on
any machine I like.
