==CherryOS controversy==
{{Further|CherryOS}}
A commercial PowerPC emulator called CherryOS was released soon after the launch of PearPC, in March 2005, claiming to offer more features and greater speed. However, within hours of its announcement, questions were raised about the claims, with some people suggesting that Cherry OS was nothing more than a repackaging of PearPC. According to Cassondra Foesch, a principal author of PearPC, it still contained all or part of the code written for the PearPC Project. Cherry OS also created questions regarding the legality of commercial software developed and marketed specifically to run macOS on the x86 architecture, since Apple's license agreement specifically states that the operating system may only be installed on Apple-labeled computers.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Shor |first=Susan |date=2005-03-10 |title=CherryOS Emulator Faces Licensing Problems |url=https://www.linuxinsider.com/story/cherryos-emulator-faces-licensing-problems-41273.html |access-date=2024-03-22 |website=LinuxInsider |language=en-US}}</ref> On April 6, 2005, the distribution of Cherry OS temporarily put on hold due to criticism.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Dalrymple |first=Jim |date=2005-04-04 |title=Mac emulator CherryOS "on hold" |url=https://www.macworld.com/article/175166/cherryos-2.html |access-date=2024-03-22 |website=Macworld |language=en}}</ref> It was later released as [[open source]] on May 1, 2005.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Dalrymple |first=Jim |date=2005-04-05 |title=CherryOS goes open source |url=https://www.macworld.com/article/175191/cherryos-3.html |access-date=2024-03-22 |website=Macworld |language=en}}</ref>
