Is this legal??

Technically not, I would say. You have to erase the software when you want to install it on another computer, or buy the family license and so on. At least as far as I know. But I am not an expert on the Mac Licensing.
 
Yes, selling that software is perfectly legal as long as you remove any installations of it before you sell it. This means that the person selling those CDs cannot keep ANY installation of OS X on his system that was installed from those CDs.

However, keep in mind that if you buy those CDs, you'll only be able to install it on the exact Macintosh model that those CDs shipped with -- those look like iBook G4 CDs, so unless you've got an iBook G4, those CDs will be worthless to you.
 
Ahhhh right, thanks ElDiabloConCaca I appreciate your help, I'll have to keep my eye out for some G4 P/Mac discs :)

Thanks again!!
 
Even if you do find some G4 disks, they would have to be the disks that shipped with your model G4, and with so many G4 tower models available in the past years, chances are the G4 disks you get won't be from your model.

Your best bet is to get the retail copy. It'll be guaranteed to work with most current and all previous supported models.

I just read the disclaimer above the CD image on that eBay auction, and the seller guarantees compatibility with your computer; however, I'd be reluctant to trust that.
 
Chances are that's one of the 'free upgrade' kits included with machines that shipped with 10.2 installed but were sold after the 10.3 release.
