===Apple TOS=== For its year in development, there was some question in the press as to the legality of CherryOS in relation to [[Apple Inc.|Apple]]'s "Use and Restrictions" agreement, which only allows Apple programs to be used on a singular "Apple-labeled computer" at one time.<ref name="cososweetensmac"/> The publication [[Ars Technica]] notes, however, that "a PPC emulator [like CherryOS or PearPC] isn't just for violating [[Terms of service|ToS agreements]] and bringing down the wrath of Apple Legal. It has legitimate uses too... you could use an emulator to run a PPC version of [[Linux]] on x86 hardware, and you could even use a [[Peer-to-peer|P2P]] network to get that distribution of Linux, justifying two technologies with one rationalization."<ref name="cosfarstechnia"/> Despite this fact, the ''[[Irish Times]]'' pointed out that CherryOS was marketed exclusively to run Mac OSX, which it argued was "clear" violation of the OS X license agreement.<ref name="cossirishtimes"/>
