Also, Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server is only legally licensed for use
on Apple-branded hardware.
Not true for at least Germany.
Can you please post a link to or the text of the German version of
the Mac OS X/Mac OS X Server license agreement?

Answered my own question:
2. Nutzung und Beschränkungen.
A. Mac OS X Server Software. Der Lizenzgeber erteilt Ihnen hiermit das
Recht zur Installation und Benutzung einer Kopie
der Mac OS X Server Software ("Mac OS X Server Software") auf jeweils
einem Apple Computer.

Now, if you're claiming that German law doesn't allow this
prohibition, you can also make that argument in various ways in many
other jurisdictions. Hobbyists and hackers all over the world have Mac
OS X running on non-Apple hardware. That doesn't mean that it still
isn't prohibited, and no one is going to make a business out of
supporting it.
On the virtualization front, no reputable company is going to make a
business or product out of something that may be prohibited by Apple's
own license agreement. That's already how one US and one Russian
virtualization company have interpreted it, and that's how others will
interpret it as well.
