The legal bickering between Apple and Psystar is almost getting uglier and grittier by the day. In a filing made last week, the Cupertino giant accused Psystar of destroying evidence, but today the clone maker has vigorously denied ever having done such a thing.

Like I said, I didn't have the details of the case. I have a feeling it was one of those cases where lawyers chatted and they came to an arrangement. All I remember from the situation was the problem was resolved quickly - I'm sure if a lawyer wanted to make a name for himself, he would have done so (given how many lawyers are keen to do grand standing).
So basically it's not a legal precedence then as it wasn't a Judges ruling
[edit - cleared up my point]

Regarding licensing linking hardware and software together like Apple does; many hardware companies do it with their firmware.
