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.

Even if presented after the sale you have a choice of returning the product for a refund if you don't like the conditions. Believing it is your right to use the product however you please if you've bought it is believing that your rights override the rights of the companies and individuals who invested their time and money into developing the product.
The manufacturer of a product has *no* right to dictate to his customer how he uses it. It is as simple as this: Once you sell something, you loose the right to excercise power on it. SOLD=SOLD.
The argument of no respect for the "companies and individuals" is nonsense, they have been paid for the time and money they invested. That is actually what copyright tries to achieve.
