Even if I knew of a way to do this (I don't.) I would not give out such
information.  That is software piracy.  Just because you cannot afford
buying a particular book you don't steal it from your friend who bought it.

Your choices:

1. If you fundamentally disagree with the licensing of VMWare and other
commercial s/w you should choose non-restrictive software that are licensed
under GNU.

2. WINE (Still in alpha)

3. Freemware
