When Psystar announced it Rebel EFI package, the company was quickly accused of simply taking open source code, repackaging it, and selling it for USD 50. While selling open source code is not a problem, not making the source code available if the license demands it is. Netkas, famous OSX86 hacker, and a Russian site are now claiming they have found the smoking gun.

The 29 EUR version. The box says nowhere that it is an upgrade by the way, and doesn't even list Leopard as a pre-requisite... The lovely girl at the Apple retailer didn't notify me of anything either.
Also, this copy isn't for me, it's a gift for my father - he has an iMac. But of course, before giving it to him, I couldn't help but try it out on my Atom box 
.
In any case, the installation succeeded, and Snow Leopard ran, but the tool which downloads the proper drivers from Psystar requires me to pay up - and I'm not doing that. So, installing Ubuntu as we speak.
