You can't buy a copy of Leopard for installation on a new machine.
Apple only sells UPGRADE licenses. The only way to get a new OSX

I bought Mac OS X 10.5.4 Retail Family Pack just the other week and
I did upgrade one MacBook Pro from Tiger with it, but it looks like
I can install other machines from scratch if I wish to do so...
Hi Richard
If you read the OSX software license, you'll see that the software is
an upgrade to your previous Macintosh software and that you're only
allowed to install it on Apple labeled Macintosh computers. It is not
a new license to use OSX, simply an upgrade to the license you
obtained when you bought your Apple labeled Macintosh.
SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR MAC OS X
Single Use and Family Pack License for use on Apple-labeled Systems
A. Single Use. This License allows you to install, use and run one
(1) copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-labeled computer at
a time. You agree not to install, use or run the Apple Software on
any non-Apple-labeled computer, or to enable others to do so.
B. Family Pack. If you have purchased a Mac OS X Family Pack, this
License allows you to install and use one (1) copy of the Apple
Software on up to a maximum of five (5) Apple-labeled computers at a
time
Updates: If an Apple Software update completely replaces (full
install) a previously licensed version of the Apple Software, you may
not use both versions of the Apple Software at the same time nor may
you transfer them separately.
Note that even doing a full install is simply an upgrade to your
previous license and you do NOT have a new license.
The only way to get a new OSX license is to buy a new Apple-labeled
Macintosh. Anything else is just an upgrade license.
Regards,
Joe Huber
