Off the record, IBM is amazingly unconcerned about
OS "piracy", as

the more exposure people get to AIX, the more hardware and service
contracts they'll sell.
Don't try this with OS/390 or z/OS, though, as that side of IBM is
concerned and doesn't want anyone running a copy that's not paid
for and licensed.
