This is a contract question, specifically the End User License Agreement. It is not a case of innocent until proven guilty. It is innocence because there is no guilt. Civil courts do not determine guilt. Civil procedure is concerned with establishing damages. This isn't just semantics. This is the entire definition of what these words mean. In the case of running Mac OS X on a non-Apple computer, Apple is not wronged. Where are the damages? What has Apple lost? Apple has lost nothing. Running Mac OS X on non-Apple hardware damages Apple as much as putting on a Harry Potter puppet show at a children's library damages JK Rowling. Zero. It just makes people more interested in Apple hardware and JK Rowling books and movies respectively. If Apple can find you, they can send you a cease and desist letter. That is the most action they can take. Likewise for JK Rowling shutting down a puppet show using characters she created.
