Pystar legally bought each copy -- Apple has been fully compensated for use of their patented (and copyrighted) property.

No, Apple are not fully compensated - the pricing of Mac OS X assumes that the stipulations of the EULA are obeyed. For example (not based on facts, but a realistic hypothetical case) Apple make $200 per copy, $70 of which are calculated in the price of a new Mac (totaling $270 for software) and the rest $130 - the retail price of the upgrade copy.
