    Just came across my old leopard OS disk and package?

    Since i have upgraded to Snow Leopard, is it ok for me to sell on this disk?

    If you bought Snow leopard as the 30 euro upgrade, then no.

    Unless this is a full retail copy of Leopard (i.e. not upgrade or systems discs that came with the machine) might not work on many peoples computer anyway.

    If it's the full retail copy of Leopard, then yes you can sell it.

    Contrary to Truckle, you can sell the Leopard disc. The statement about it being a retail disc rather than system discs is pretty important, but you seem to have cleared that up, especially if you upgraded from 10.3!

    Although I wouldn't expect to get much for it. the only people who it would appeal to is those with a non intel (Power PC) mac who haven't yet upgraded, and there isn't many of them. Anyone else would be far better of buying the 30 quid snow leopard upgrade.

    Ye know, normally if you are going to correct someone, you should check your facts first.
    Snow Leopard Upgrade's EULA wrote:
    Leopard Upgrade Licenses. If you have purchased an Upgrade for Mac OS X Leopard license, then subject to the terms and conditions of this License, you are granted a limited nonexclusive license to install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-branded computer as long as that computer has a properly licensed copy of Mac OS X Leopard already installed on it. If you have purchased a Family Pack Upgrade for Mac OS X Leopard license, then subject to the terms and conditions of this License, you are granted a limited non-exclusive license to install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software on up to a maximum of five (5) Apple-branded computers at a time as long as those computers are located in the same household (as defined above), are used by persons who occupy that same household, and each such computer has a properly licensed copy of Mac OS X Leopard already installed on it. The Family Pack Upgrade for Mac OS X Leopard License does not extend to business or commercial users."

    So you are still using your Leopard Licence, along with a Snow Leopard Upgrade Licence.
