They moan about a supposed sense of entitlement, yet they feel entitled to take code that wasn’t created by them and do the only thing they’re forbidden to do close it. The GPL makes it possible to have that freedom legally, provided you abide by its one requirement, which I discuss below. Which goes to show that freedom is what the people want, though they “get” it illegally that way. Everybody must abide by proprietary licenses and it’s no big deal, but they got all offended when they have to abide by the GPL.Ī lot of people don’t abide by proprietary licenses. Yeah, I don’t understand these people myself. Then again – some people will find an explanation for anything to keep their black helicopter theories afloat. It seems rather odd that a company funded by Microsoft to attack the GPL (as PJ claims) would sell machines with Linux pre-installed. Lasty, I think we can also finally put to rest those ridiculous claims put forth by people like Groklaw’s PJ regarding Psystar being a Microsoft-sponsored attack on the GPL, an extension of the SCO case.

While it’s sad that software makers can apparently dictate whatever they want in their EULAs, this is at least better than nothing. It seems that Psystar is busy doing what it probably should have done in the first place: sell computers completely compatible with Mac OS X, but without Mac OS X actually installed.

“In the coming days, we will again be offering complete systems but at discounted prices as they will be bundled with your choice of Linux operating system,” the company writes, “In addition to using only first quality components, our hardware specifically chosen such that it is known to be compatible with OS X (via Apples own drivers or open source offerings online).” On the hardware front, the company plans to resume selling computers, but now with Linux instead of Mac OS X. If the court agrees that Rebel EFI does not fall under the injunction, Psystar will continue selling it, and expand it to include support for specific computers, such as the Dell 9 Mini and HP Mini. The company is not planning on throwing in the towel, though. On top of that, there is still this pesky but very important issue of where Psystar got the code for Rebel EFI from – the company claims it has been developed in-house, but Netkas and others in the OSx86 community believe the code has been stolen from them. It’s obviously hard to disagree with this notion, but it’s also obvious that Psystar has not done a very good job of fighting for our rights as consumers. There should be no difference in the software realm, no matter how much money Apple or anyone else throws at it.” A publisher cannot forbid you from reading a book in the bathroom or listening to a music disc while riding your bicycle. “It’s your software, you should be able to use it where you want to,” they argue, “If you purchase an off-the-shelf copy of OS X Snow Leopard, its your right to use that software. They say they do not and have not ever condoned software pricacy, and that their actions are not “hardcore copyright ”. The company also states they disagree with the court’s decision, which obviously shouldn’t come as a surprise. “Warranties on hardware will continue to be honored as long the customer has a valid warranty,” the company says, “Rebel EFI support for existing customers, as always, will remain exclusively available through email and the built-in ticket interface.” The company notes that the court order has no effect on warranties, so existing customers shouldn’t feel worried. Psystar made all the announcements in a notice on their website. Psystar also announced it will continue hardware sales in the coming days – with Linux rather than Mac OS X. This week, Psystar has also temporarily halted sales of Rebel EFI while the former clone maker confirms the tool’s legality with the court.
Earlier this month, Psystar suspended all sales of its hardware products, honouring the court’s decision which favoured Apple.
