Hmm, well maybe I don't know much about virtual machines.  <grin>

As far as ethics goes, it seems pretty black and white to me.  <grin>
Someone is in charge of who can install software on a machine, be it a
virtual machine or not.  In general, I would think that would be the
entity that owns the physical machine.  So, if you can not get
sufficient privilege to install ooRexx, then my assumption is that you
don't own the machine.

If you don't own the machine, and the entity that does own the machine
say no, you can't install ooRexx, then I think that, ethically, you
shouldn't install ooRexx on the machine.
