It's actually very user friendly.. You can buy a DSM license to install on a normal machine

Do you have a link to a licence sales page?

I'm quite positive I've seen it for custom hardware.. but it seems VDSM is only available (officially) for Synology devices.

I know xpenology uses the official software, but I'm not sure if that is legal.
