Hi,
Yep Mac OS X works fine under MOL on both Teron and Pegasos boards.   I've had 10.2.6 for quite a while on my iMac G4 and its not as fast (obviously) but still very usable on Peg (around the same speed or faster than my old iMac G3-450).  

The EULA permits you to install on one "Apple-Branded" machine but its seriously not something Apple would enforce - people have been building their own Macs for years. (eg. http://www.macopz.com/buildamac/) and I have not heard of anyone getting into trouble over running MacOS on them.

So long as you actually bought the OS I can't see Apple being bothered.

I should mention that I own three original OS X licences/CD sets (one that came with my iBook, one that came with my G4 iMac, and one boxed retail copy that I bought from the Apple Centre Manchester).  

When I bought it I was not asked if I owned a Mac, I was not asked if I would be running it on a Mac, they were quite happy to let me pay my £100 and walk out of the store with OS X.
