Is OSX (mac) FRC Friendly?

I hate to say this but this is not a solution or true.

If you are not manufacturing (or at least assembling) the computer you can not be an OEM:
Original Equipment Manufacturer

Hence unless you are Apple you are not the OEM of a MacBook.
You bought the MacBook COTS.

Do people break this rule all the time? Yes.
Should anyone make the mistake of suggesting it?
Not unless they Captain the Black Pearl and talk to Davy Jones.

Believe it or not: even a retail license of Windows 7 or 8 puts you on strange ground if you virtualize it.
Though you can install legally a retail license of Windows 7 or 8 in Boot Camp (which is basically a boot manager and drivers).

As the end user you are also not allowed to virtualize Mac OSX unless you operate a specific set of server licensing.
Yes people hack it all the time. It does not comply with the agreement.

Windows XP lacked clauses that prevent the end user from virtualizing it.
So basically a virtual machine was no different from physical hardware.
Course Windows XP is increasingly useless for FIRST applications.

Microsoft's licensing model is an ever changing maze. If in doubt call them.

Maybe you could try C++, I think it has UCPP..
