Hardware, Embedded Systems Now this is interesting news that hit my inbox at 2:22 AM (don't ask). It seems like the concept of selling Mac clones is more lucrative than many have anticipated, as I've just been informed via email that the German PearC has expanded its business into the BeNeLux (Belgium, The Netherlands, Luxembourg) and France. Together with the news that Psystar emerged from chapter 11, it looks like the market for Mac clones is more lucrative than many of us had imagined.

I doubt it that you can purchase software and RE_SELL by re-packaging it around your own hardware of choice without the permission of the owner of the SW.

When you download a free application for arguments sakes it clearly states in the license terms that you are not to re-sell it!

What Psystar and Pear PC are doing is purchasing OSX and RE-SELL with a margin it without Apple's Permission.

For goodness sake, just install OSX on your privately used PC if you love it - just DO NOT RE-SELL it


Why not? I can resell any damn purchased product I want. I have a valid sales agreement between myself and the seller, so the copy is my legal property. As such, I am allowed to re-sell it whenever the hell I damn well please.

What bollocks. What if I want to re-sell my iPhone? It contains software too!
