How does one legaly obtain a w98 license today? I'm loosely contemplating setting up a build server for Emacs that would build and deploy all bzr revisions of Emacs on each supported platform. I would like to use VirtualBox for virtualization. Free OS:es are of course easy to obtain, modern non-free also, except osx, because apple weirdly doesnt want to support virtualization in their license. Old non-free os:es seems difficult to obtain in a legal way. > > No sarcasm intended. > > --- grischka > > -- Joakim Verona
