I think an important point is that you loose support from Apple
if you're not installing Mac OS X on Apple brand hardware.

As for the license agreement, if you buy Mac OS X from the shelf
(for example), you've not confirmed any contract-like agreement
with Apple yet, but you've purchased some rights already, for
example the right to burn the whole package (not a nice example
but I'm sure you get the idea); the EULA mentions nothing about
this (legally possible) behavior.

The Mac OS X versions sold along with the "Hackintosh" are no
illegally pirated copies, they're "boxes" from the shelf. It's
up to the customer what to do with it.
