Hardware, Embedded Systems There are several options out there if you wan to run Mac OS X on your non-Apple labelled computer, but one of them appears to be in serious trouble. It has been uncovered that the EFI-X module is nothing more than a USB stick with a DRM chip, with code from the hackintosh community on it - without attribution. On top of that, its firmware update utility uses LGPL code - again, without attribution.

i think you'll find that mostly all computer like hardware / software comes with an EULA.

It's not just apple that applies an EULA to their products.

Of course the only group that doesn't is the OSS / GPL group.

This is quite.

Since the open source aspect has been yet again brought to the center of the discussion, I would emphasize especially the hardware-side of things.
