You are making my case for me. Or as I said: 2) You buy a Mac (lets say a iMac on eBay). You install Linux on it. You buy a 8´core PC. You install MacOS X on it. This seems legal in Europe as there is even a precedence for it: Microsoft tried to prohibit people selling on their Win licenses when they installed Linux. That was declared illegal in Europe. From that it follows that it is legal too to install a original Macs OS on a PC and then upgrade it as you like (or in other words if you have an original restore disk in addition to your Leo then you are covered).
