We've got some news in the Apple vs. Psystar tragedy that's been unfolding before our eyes for months now. We all know the gist: Psystar sells machines with Mac OS X pre-installed, while the EULA states that's not allowed. Apple then took this stuff to court, and in the meantime, Psystar went into Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection. The news today is that Apple has filed a complaint stating that this Chapter 11 thing is just a shield that allows Psystar to continue its business practices, which Apple deems as illegal.

My understanding is that a contract must be available for review and discussion then common agreement. EULA are presented as clickthrough contracts that become little more than pressing OK so setup.exe will run instead of canceling out. Also, an EULA can say "you opened the shrinkwrap so you agree to the contract" when one must open it to view the EULA in the first place.
