Apple has filed a lawsuit against Psystar, claiming the Florida-based company violated its copyright and software licensing agreements. Psystar began selling a Mac clone in April despite the fact that Apple’s Mac OS X licensing agreement forbids companies other than Apple to do so.
Apple’s End User Licensing Agreement does not allow Mac OS X to be installed on a computer other than an Apple-branded machine
“We take it very seriously when we believe people have stolen our intellectual property,†said an Apple spokesperson.
However, a Psystar employee identified only as Robert has previously said that Apple’s terms violate U.S. monopoly laws and said that Apple grossly overcharges for its hardware.
However Psystar’s feels about the legality of Apple's licensing agreement, the company will have to defend its case in court, and that may be difficult.
