mac build bot (and also for the rest of us).
Hi.
I have been strugling to get VMs up and running on my local server, so I
can test my changes throughout our supported platforms.
I found this article:
http://lifehacker.com/5583650/run-mac-os-x-in-virtualbox-on-windows
And have talked to a couple of virtualbox people, it actually works....so
this is a recipe to get macOS without having a mac.
Now I need to find a macOS image, but that is different story.

I'm pretty sure that is not allowed by the Apple license. So that
doesn't solve our problem.
(also, I've not had very good success when trying this type approach in
the past)
The real solution is to get a Mac buildbot, and we requested this almost
a year ago: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-4902

License agreements for Apple softwares can be found in:
http://www.apple.com/legal/sla/
For MacOSX 10.8.2: http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/OSX1082.pdf
The section 2 (starting at the end of first page) describes about the
valid use of
the copy of the OS. It always says on "Apple-branded computer".
So we need it, it seems.

It doesn't matter whether you can buy it, what you can do with it is in
the Terms & Conditions of the licence agreement, and last time I read
them (Lion upgrade), such a system (i.e. a VM running OSX on non-Apple
hardware) wasn't allowed. That may have changed of course.

At least you can buy it (one example):
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and I dont think apple can dictate you which machines you run it on

This may be technically possible, but is it legal? I thought that the
MacOSX license only allows to run MacOSX on a virtual machine that runs
itself on MacOSX. Does anybody know more?
