> Would I be distributing parts of macOS in my containers?

Unless you're producing fully static binaries (or static enough that they don't bind to non-redistributable things) it'd be a yes (it would not be much of a container if it needed non-packaged things)

The screenshot points out a ghcr.io URL that lands on these packages: https://github.com/orgs/macOScontainers/packages?repo_name=m...

Edit: There's a note here†, so at least there is some consideration for licensing. No idea if it holds ground.

Counting the hours until this gets DMCA'd out of existence


Anecdotally:

- there has been images like that circulating on well-known platforms† for a long time.

- I never heard of a single DMCA on any of these, even though they were on much clearer violation of the license.

Apple might be pulling a Hackintosh manoeuvre here.

† an example, there are many others: https://app.vagrantup.com/jhcook/boxes/macos-sierra


folks have been building macos vm images, sharing them, and virtualizing macos on macos for a decade or so now.

is this that much different?
