"osx unlocker so I can run mac VM's"

Help me out here in that I have very little experience with MAC OS:

Are you running MAC OS in a VM?

if yes how do you purchase MAC OS License?

I recently tried virtualbox on a spare laptop, havent looked at
virtualbox in years, and I was impressed, a few questions for the community:

   -  can I run the osx unlocker with virtualbox?

   - does virtualbox have the same issues where it needs a patch after
each kernel and sometimes
    just breaks with a new kernel , even with the patch?
I had trouble running VirtualBox on Fedora 39. I could not get the
kernel modules to build correctly. But it happened around the time of
F39 release, so that may have changed by now.

I switched to QEMU/KVM/libvirt. The nice thing about these packages
are, they are supported by the kernel out-of-the-box. You don't have
to putz around with tainted modules or signing kernel modules.

I don't know how well QEMU/KVM/libvirt handle other disk images, like
from VMware.
