Law and Order And the Apple vs. Psystar case continues to roll onwards. A lot of mud is going back and forth between the two companies: Apple has accused Psystar of making information public which was under a protective order, and obviously, Psystar denied. In addition, Groklaw's Pamela Jones continues to suspect that this Psystar case is related to the SCO case, and is part of a concentrated effort to destroy the GPL. Update: I've just been emailed (on behalf of Psystar's lawyers, actually) the outcome (in the form of a court order) of the hearing held this morning. Sadly, it's very late here, so I won't be able to analyse it properly until tomorrow.

yeah, this doesn't have potential to hurt the gpl, it has more poetential to hurt microsoft.

not only does the court have a good chance to declare eula's wrong. but they also have a good chance to restore competition in the OS market, AND the apple hardware market. so consumers would benefit greatly because of this. not only would they be able to choose between hardwares to use for apple's os. but microsoft and apple would have to compete on the OS front directly. competition is good.
