Mac OSX on x86

[The Linuxator]

How would it be illegal if you already have a copy of Tiger and modify it to work on x86 through some utility or something like that ?

Read the license.

EDIT: And I doubt the Tiger license covers post-Tiger versions. I'm not sure if OS X x86 counts as Tiger or not, so again, read the license.

Some utility to convert PPC binaries to x86? If something like that existed, don't you think people wouldn't complain about closed source tools not running on other architectures?

I am just talking in theory.

Even so, I believe the license states that you're only allowed to use it on official Apple hardware, so you'd still have to use it on one of their x86 machines.
