Law and Order Apple has filed a suit (more details) on July 3rd against Psystar in the northern district of California. Psystar dubbed its cheap Mac Clone as Open Computer and started shipping them around April of this year.

I wonder what Psystar needs to copy in order to make a Mac clone.

They do not violate the EULA themselves, just the people who install Leopard violate the EULA.

And nobody needs to install Leopard in order to get the computer working, one could just install a Linux distro which runs on Apple hardware.

I think Apple will have a hard time prooving that Psystar did something wrong.
