@Posco Grubb: I asked about this specifically when I started working at my current job.

@despair: Of course it's legal. We all know that everyone who does this will have a legitimate copy of OSX that was purchased from Apple or some other vendor and they just downloaded the .iso of the "patched" copy of the OS because it's easier than patching it themselves.
