Psystar Wins a Round Against Apple

Posted by CmdrTaco on

Daengbo writes "'A federal judge last week ruled that Psystar Corp. can continue its countersuit against Apple Inc., giving the Mac clone maker a rare win in its seven-month-old battle with Apple. He also hinted that if Psystar proves its allegations, others may then be free to sell computers with Mac OS X already installed.' Apple is currently suing Psystar over its sale of Mac clones."

    Quit using the "OS X upgrade" talking point unless you can show me where:

    1. The box is marked with "Upgrade version" like every other piece of software is, or
    2. The EULA specifically requires having a previous version of the software.

    Your "It's an upgrade because of ... {long logical argument}" doesn't make it one.

    You're right, though. This is a case about whether a software house has the right to restrict what hardware you can use the software on. Nothing else.

    You are not licensed to use either without an already existing OS license

    Show me where it says this. Oh, wait, you knew that it doesn't say this in any way, roundabout or not. It only requires Apple hardware.
