MOS applies enforced restrictions while AOS does it by having parts of the OS in hardware ROM chips. That's completely different. You can still use your old Workbench disks from your A500 on another A500 or even an A1200 with another kickstart if you like. You can also rip your ROM from one computer and use it either by soft kicking or program it into a ROM chip, without enforced restrictions like with MOS (although in some circumstances you might violate the EULA by doing it).
Practically it has a big effect on emulation/virtualization. As you know there is no problem to run multiple instances of Amiga emulators on one machine with a completely different architecture. You can actually do it legally as well via Amiga Forever.

But still, there is no VM that could run MorphOS 3.7 so it is not very relevant.
Who knows if there would be one if it was allowed? The technique is known and there are components ready to be put together to make this happening.

Indeed. That's why I recently bought a license anyway. :)
