Not answering your question about the MonoTouch licensing.... but FYI you can 
now legally run OSX (Lion) in a VM.

Subject: [MonoTouch] Installing in VMWare

I'm aware that running Mac OS in a virtual machine is a controversial issue, 
but nevertheless I found myself be much more productive in a PC environment 
running MonoDevelop within VMWare.

That works fine for testing in the Simulator, however I have been unable to 
install the paid version of MonoTouch in this environment, probably due to the 
anti-piracy protection, and thus I cannot test my programs on a physical device 
this way.

Is there any way to successfully installing the paid version in a virtual 
environment?

For the record, I do have a Mac, but it is very tedious to revert to it every 
time I need to do some physical device testing. And I also do have a licensed 
copy of Mac OSX for my VMWare session. Apple probably wont accept this anyway, 
but perhaps it is time for them to start becoming more flexible towards their 
developers... 

Anyway, I think a lot of developers using MonoTouch is coming from a Windows 
background, so, although controversial I think it is a question worth asking... 
:)
