@larma@mastodon.social this was proposed a few years ago and, if I remember correctly, Apple had some licensing restrictions which would require one to have Apple hardware to virtualize MacOS. I'm not sure if that's the case. Do you know?
I know of people that have managed to run MacOS in the old-Boxes, so it is technically doable. I just don't know if it is legal.

@gnome@felipeborges.eu Well, the legal aspect of it is complicated. Just like with Windows, you do need a valid license. The only way to buy a license is to buy one bundled with an Apple device and their license terms say that this license only applies to Apple devices. However, just like it happened with Windows OEM licenses, that clause is probably invalid in some countries. I mean: Boxes also doesn't bother with the question of one having a valid Windows license, why would it be different for macOS?
