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.

They can resell someone's product as long as they are not breaking the laws. Beyond the EULA there are also resale laws. I'm not sure why you are so concerned with this case when Apple is holding all the cards. Even if Psystar finds a way to legally resell OSX Apple can nuke their business. "
Of course Apple can - but they don't want to for two reasons.
1) There's little they can do to hinder Psystar without making themselves look supremely dickish, which would clash with the whole "think different" image.
2) It would cost money and effort, and those costs would probably be ongoing.
Instead, Apple seems to think they can make the problem go away forever by just throwing money and lawyers at it.
