sounds rather unlikely. Even if we disregard the strict "2 copies"
limit, it means even on Mac hardware, I can't run the VMs on a Linux
host. Maintaining non-virtualised OSX is out of question.

I think the only real way forward is to forget OSX and virtualise
something based on Darwin. Either that, or declare the OSX EULA to be
batshit insane and un-enforceable and simply deploy and run OSX in KVM
on our existing Dell hardware...

Yours,
