PsyStar
introduced its Mac clone to much media attention back in April, causing many discussions about the company's legal status, the
validity of the Mac OS X EULA, and even PsyStar's
very existence. It soon turned out PsyStar was a real company, and was actually shipping the OpenComputer Mac Clone to its customers, to generally rather favourable reviews - not stellar of course, but acceptable, with the biggest downside being the inability to use the Software Update tool, forcing users to download OS updates straight from PsyStar's servers - to prevent updates from Apple hosing the OpenComputer. We're a few months later now, and
a few things have changed.

The GPL is not an EULA. It governs distribution of the software, not what the end user does with it or what machines he may run it on or what conditions he must follow to use it.
