I'd suggest that you read the license. You'll discover that it

Perhaps you should rephrase your answer to "You cannot LEGALLY
install Leopard on any machine other than an Apple product"
Perhaps it should be rephrased to "you can't do it without breaking
the
software license terms. Whether the software license terms are
legal is
undecided but precedense (at least in Europe) suggests it is not"
But, during the install, you must accept these terms in order to
continue. Doesn't that constitute a Legal agreement with Apple?
Whether or not the EU decides these are binding in Europe or that
this forced agreement itself is Legal in those countries does not
release one from the contract one agrees to on installation. This is
in Contract Law that obviously varies by jurisdiction.
I am not a contract lawyer, of course, so I really am stepping out
of my territory. :)
And so you should have attended my wife's Real World lectures on
contracts and licenses. Lession #1: contracts and licenses are not
the same thing :)
