Mostly semantics,  if I name my computer "APPLE" Then it's "legal" to
install. Crap, if I buy it I can install it on ANY computer. Does not
have to be a computer named "APPLE" it could be "IBM", "HP" or any other
brand or non brand.

I think an important point is that you loose support from Apple
if you're not installing Mac OS X on Apple brand hardware.

That may be. But i'm not talking about apple specificly.

As for the license agreement, if you buy Mac OS X from the shelf
(for example), you've not confirmed any contract-like agreement
with Apple yet, but you've purchased some rights already, for
example the right to burn the whole package (not a nice example
but I'm sure you get the idea); the EULA mentions nothing about
this (legally possible) behavior.

Well, you have the right to make a backup. Is it that?

The Mac OS X versions sold along with the "Hackintosh" are no
illegally pirated copies, they're "boxes" from the shelf. It's
up to the customer what to do with it.

Yes. Like with any digital file/s
