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.

If implicit contracts could be created by any company, I'd be rich. The paper and whatever put in the box is just that, a paper. It doesn't matter what it says nor did you sign it anywhere. License pop-ups can be ignored as unwanted application features or bugs no matter what they say. I recomend complaining to the manufacturer anyway. This is a real world folks, magic is not supposed to work here! Wake up!
