Because you agreed to the license which forbids X, Y, & Z when you installed it. And furthermore: you bought yourself a copy of OS X? Really? Without a Mac to run it on? Or you have a copy of PPC OS X that you're trying to hack to run on an intel machine? Which imaginary point of view informs your opinion?
Do whatever you wish with anything you own, ever. But in this case if you decide to make it public, expect your life to get complicated. How hard is that to understand?
Good god, these "I deserve to run OS X any way I like" arguments are tiresome. Go do something to make OSS better if you want to tinker. Or hack OS X to run on whatever you want, and then keep it to your damn self and enjoy it! Just for god's sake don't bring up that Apple I motherboards were made in a garage or that Woz futzed around with long distance calls more than 30 years ago - 30 years ago! - as reasons Apple should "chill out" about people using their software in ways they don't like.

Perhaps just hacking your stuff and not telling the world about it might prevent just that sort of unfortunate scrutiny.
Pity the modern computer user....stuck with using only Microsoft or Apple products! If only there was some Other Software Solution....!
