Law and Order Apple has filed a suit (more details) on July 3rd against Psystar in the northern district of California. Psystar dubbed its cheap Mac Clone as Open Computer and started shipping them around April of this year.

Psystar actually hosts security updates from Apple and redistributes these to their customers.

No matter how you look at it, this is clear copyright infringement. Unless specifically granted by a license, redistribution of any copyrighted product is not permitted.

In the end Psystar probably used the OS X computers to get publicity for their other computers which nobody would ever have heard of otherwise. Whether it was worth it or not, depends on how much they have to pay in damages to Apple.
