Another Thought PPC/x86 Emulation

[Laurent Vivier]

What about the legal issues ?

Q:
Does MOL run on non-Apple hardware?
=20
A:

It does. MOL runs for instance on the Pegasos board, the Teron board and =
on=20
AmigaOne hardware. In short, MOL should run on any PowerPC hardware (with=
 the=20
except of 601-based systems). However, the EULA of MacOS prohibits its us=
age=20
on non-Apple hardware (it is of course perfectly legal to use MOL to boot=
 a=20
second Linux though).
