Slightly different... Apple still get the cost of the licence for OS X, so they still get revenue from every PsyStar sold. PsyStar are not imitating the Apple hardware design, they are not copying the Apple look and feel and cloning everything - they are simply shipping a PC with OS X installed.

I think he's referring to the fact that Psystar relies on the OSX86 community to do its R&D. The fact that Apple has singled them out for a lawsuit is entirely different.

Saying that you paid Apple for the Mac OS license is laughable. Mac OS license is not a separate product. The price for the license is 29$ only because Apple considers it an upgrade for the Mac computer you have already bought from Apple. Mac OS upgrade is a bonus and only Mac owners are qualified.

  Yes, you can buy a $29 upgrade to 10.6 if you already have 10.5. But there's also a full version of 10.6 for $129 for users that have 10.4.

    The question is not about the price, 29$ or 129$ it is still a bonus. Apple's business is about Macs, not Mac OS licences.
