<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Gentoo Linux is officially supported on
nine different CPU architectures, PPC and PPC64 among them. At A
Previous Employer (tm) I had Gentoo on x86_64, Via C3 x86-alike
(Wyse thin client), and SPARC at the same time, all happily
running modern versions of everything.<br>

<div>'You don't' is the short answer. The license for the old OS
is once per machine, 2 per family, NON-TRANSFERABLE.</div>

<div>According to an analysis of the license terms (that I now
can't find on the interwebs) that hardware can be sold or given
away but the software license is no longer valid. The new owner
is required to purchase a license even if the box came with
working OS.</div>

<div>Apple want's people to buy new stuff at least every 2 years
so the new OS is available free for new hardware (with Apple
account and built in user tracking - of course it's only used to
improve products). The non-supported versions of OSX are purged
from the public space (and legals sent to takedown unauthorized
download locations as fast as they pop up.). Old hardware is not
cool enough for the turtleneck crowd.</div>

<div>Run Linux on the old hardware. Debian still has a ppc port.
Check here for details:</div>

<div>Related question as the local Goodwill store sometimes
has Macs and I want to stay legal. If I get an old mac where
can I get a legal, if old, OS copy?</div>
