Two words "Red Hat" Red Hat used to give away their OS for free. There was major backlash when they started charging. It seems to me that Apple is better off having the code "leaked" in order to generate interest. Then when they start charging for it, it will be more tolerable.
Let's be realistic. How many XBox consoles have been sold in order to load linux on them? Probably less than 100. This is not about the financial loss on the consoles, it is about software piracy available by the use of mod chips.
