As predictable as the bet that night will follow day, Apple
sued a little widely watched wannabe Mac cloner in Florida called Psystar that’s been selling a
$399 box called Open Computer for the last few months.
On July 3 Apple charged it with violating its trademark,
copyright and shrinkwrap license in federal court in California demanding an injunction, damages,
an Open Computer recall and any PsyStar profits, according to Cnet, which
obtained a copy of the hard-to-get suit.
The Leopard EULA forbids installing the operating system on
anything but an Apple-made machine.
