While the Apple v. Psystar case is currently on hold until the hearing regarding the motions for a summary judgement takes place (November 12) the Psystar v. Apple case (still with me?) is only just beginning. Psystar has amended its original complaint in this second lawsuit, asking the judge to order Apple to cease calling Psystar's business "illegal", claiming it hurts the clone maker financially.

The best way is simply to not care. The GPL _cares_ too much about what is happening to the code away from the originator.
BSD, CC doesn’t. I don’t care what other people are doing with my code, I’m not paranoid. I know that that I can never dictate what other people should do, I can only educate and help nudge people in that direction. I don’t have time to be hunting people down and nagging them, personally.

So? You don't care about your code (there must be thousands upon thousands of lines of your code out there I assume, right?) good for you. Other people do, so Pysstar can go pound sand and come up with their own code if they don't want to comply with the wishes of people who have stated clearly the fact they don't want their code to be commercially distributed by people who had diddly squat to do with it.

The license in question (used by boot-132) isn't the GPL, its the APSL (Apple Public Source License), which kinda makes your anti-GPL rant look a little silly, but hey, don't mind me, use whatever license you want, and I won't even bother to 'nudge' you if you use one that I don't.

well that is the fundamental problem with 'free' software. Once it is written, anyone can use it without giving back.
Oh the plight of developers who do not understand cash flow and human nature.
