"...But can apple dictate licensing terms like this? If aws buys a mac, can't they use it however they like? Or are there terms limiting this in the purchase agreement..."
Yes, no, and yes.
- dnate 6y agowhat about buying second hand macs? I am not agreeing to any terms there, how can apple still enforce those rules then?
- supernova87a 6y agoIt's not the hardware that's restricted, it's the MacOS usage/license. You agree to that when you install it. Apple can't practically enforce that against you, an individual using a mac in your home. But then again you're probably not reselling your mac's functionality directly for profit to others. They for sure can seek to enforce it with AWS or others who sell it commercially. It's the reselling of their software and functionality for profit that is covered by the terms of the agreement.
