Seems that Pystar is getting geared up for the legal battles. Or, at least, there is a lot of talk about that issue.

There are some issues I have that were brought up by this article. For starters is the "shrink wrap" agreements. Judges have said that they are enforceable because you can decline the agreement and NOT install the software. I just wonder if anyone has ever pointed out the fact that once the "shrink wrap" is removed you can't return the software for a refund. Well, at least to the store where you bought it. Then, if you can get the software company to agree to give you a refund, you will have to pay fr shipping to return it to them. Thus losing some of your money for no reason.
Hell, you can't even buy a video game for a console and return it. You should have the opportunity to view the EULA before you make the purchase. They talk about part of the agreement being unconscionable. Well, I think that the "shrink wrap" issue is unconscionable.
Then they allow the argument that the software and hardware make a Mac a Mac? Maybe so, but a Mac isn't the issue, the operating system is. Then there is the fact that the EULA for OS X is actually creating a monopoly. You have to agree that you will not install the OS on a non-Apple labeled computer. How is that not illegal?
How is that any more legal than Billy-boy having those agreements with PC manufacturers years ago stating that they had to pay him a fee per PC manufactured regardless of the OS installed? He actually created a bit of a monopoly back then because manufacturers were not willing to offer any other OS's because they had to pay Bill no matter what.
Lastly, I think that maybe someone should do some kind of study to prove whether or not people would want OS X without having to buy an Apple computer. I might try out the OS on a system where I choose the hardware, not someone else.
