There are several options out there if you wan to run Mac OS X on your non-Apple labelled computer, but one of them appears to be in serious trouble. It has been uncovered that the EFI-X module is nothing more than a USB stick with a DRM chip, with code from the hackintosh community on it - without attribution. On top of that, its firmware update utility uses LGPL code - again, without attribution.

That is true in the US as well. However, in the US at least the lawyers still need to be paid first before they will take the case. Basically when the losing party has to pay for legal costs, it is more of a reimbursement to the winner. The money and time are already spent, so without having the money up front to pay for the lawyers, they will not touch the case unless it is a sure victory.
How is that true in the US? I was under the impression it'd have to explicitly be part of the judgment for that to happen, or you have to separately sue for court costs. As an example, the RIAA lawsuits that were dropped when they realized they had the wrong person or were going to lose typically left the loser footing the legal bill of defending themselves up to that point.
