Is it allowed to install a closed-source ("legal") VM and put Linux in it?
Yes afaik. But why would one want to do that.

That was a question specific to the poster's (Nishit's corporate) setup. And it has some (limited, though) purpose - a long time back I was saddled with a laptop on which I had limited permissions and an old version of Windows to go with it. Call it an itch I wanted to scratch at that time, but I wanted to try my hand at Lisp. I have documented the workarounds I had to use (basically use Xemacs as a Lisp shell) on the GLug wiki.
If I had a full VM, I'd probably have a (slightly) smoother ride.
