It'd be interesting to see the Legal Notices given with third party Power
PC upgrades (Newertech, etc.). We may find some clues about what Apple

However various non-Apple PowerPC PCs will soon be in the market and it ought to be clear whether it will be legal to run MacOS (via MOL) on them. This is only fair to everybody involved (including Apple since the price of their hardware has always subsidized their OS development).
