 From what I've seen the EULA allows only 2 VM instances, and it only  
seems to apply to Lion, not 10.4, 5, 6, 3, 2, or 1. I believe older  
versions' EULAs still apply to those versions, and it's my  
understanding that VMs are not allowed for older versions, except  
using server versions of OS X.

I'm not an attorney, and I'm intending this as a caution and not legal  
advice.  I would recommend carefully reading the relevant EULAs and/or  
consulting an attorney before running any version of OS X in a VM.

Cheers,
Josh
