Mac OS X Anyone who hangs around on websites with information about installing Mac OS X on non-Apple labelled computers has probably already encountered this report, but it's newsworthy anyway. The upcoming release of Mac OS X 10.6.2 will remove support for the Intel Atom line of processors from Mac OS X.

Which is basically just an affirmation/confirmation of rights that the user would already have under copyright law.


All rights are reserved under the Berne convention, with exceptions for fair use etc. No such 'unlimited permission' is ever granted by default, which is why it is explicitly mentioned.

The rest of the GPL is almost entirely focused on DISTRIBUTION terms, not USAGE terms (unlike an EULA).


So the licenses emphasize different things. I don't dispute this.

The principle is if software publishers have the right to license their software on their terms. It does not matter if the license is GPL or some EULA, the principle is the same.
