You can, and it’s licensed to.

Since Lion:

EDIT: Amusingly on topic with gist of thread above, anger about a dev tool launched for MacOS, this fact with citations from license and support page from VMware garnered instant down votes.

Well if you can only virtualize it on a computer that's already running macos I don't know how that's supposed to help.

You can virtualize on a PC. Whether you may or not, depends whether you believe you own software.

And how it helps when you do it on MacOS on Mac hardware is letting you do all the things you virtualize an OS for, from a fine GUI on a decent kernel.

> all the things you virtualize an OS for

One of the main things I "virtualize an OS for" is to use software that requires Platform A on a system that runs Platform B. Running "legit" (authorized) virtualized MacOS does not help me do that; I am only allowed to run Platform A on Platform A.

So you mean you gotta tinker/hack?
