This article is about new aspects of the never-ending story of how Apple is protecting MacOS X for running on different hardware than Apple's. The keyword is virtualization, which allows running unmodified version of Mac OS X as virtualized instance.

Why should we mod you down? I think it is a good question.
I guess I can answer that to some degree.
The GPL and other open source "licenses" can be interpreted in terms of copyright. You have the copyright of a product and allow others to reproduce it under certain rules. That is perfectly legal in terms of copyright. You are not restricted in using the software, though.
EULAs generally restrict you in using the software you bought. They try to be some kind of contract. And such kinds of "contracts" are void here.
Yet you don't need contracts to have your copyright. You only need to create/publish (depending on national law) something.
Please correct me if I was wrong.
