In that case, why do people buy the CAS then?
Quote from: DJ_O on November 19, 2011, 02:05:23 pmIf you bought both of them, I'M sure it would be legal. Once you paid for both, you should be allowed to do what you desire with them. If you pirate Mac OS on TPB then install a copy on your PC, then it's illegal.The issue when installing the CAS on the non-CAS models is that when you buy a TI-Nspire, you mostly pay for the CAS/Non-CAS software, not just the calc itself. By installing the CAS software for free on a non-CAS calc, you're stealing $50 from TI. Installing the CAS OS on a non-CAS Nspire is legal even if you haven't bought an Nspire CAS. The software is available for free on TI's website, and the license allows you to store one copy on a calc and one copy on a computer for backup purposes. It doesn't say anything about which calcs you can put the OS on, so you can install it on whichever one you want to (even a Casio calc, but that wouldn't work ). If it's ethical to do this is another question, but it's much more difficult to answer.Installing the Mac OS on a non-Apple computer is always illegal even if you own it, because Apple's EULA (unlike TI's) forbids you to do that.

Really? That'S weird, I would have thought that normally we got full rights to do what we want with what we buy (except killing people and stealing stuff, for example).
Also if it'S really legal to install a CAS OS on a non-CAS calc, then why was RunOS never released?
