This week, one of the most-commented stories on OSNews was the story about how 'Maxxus' cracked/hacked (take your pick) the Intel version of Apple's OSX once again. This sparked a lively debate over whether we should encourage Maxxus, or condemn his actions. I made myself clear from the get-go: I condemn his actions. Note: This is the Sunday Eve Column of the week.

"Those who support things like the GPL ought to ponder that. If Apple can't enforce its EULA, then there's not much hope for enforcing the GPL."
There's a big difference between the GPL and EULAs, the GPL grants you extra rights you wouldn't otherwise have, EULAs restrict rights.
So if you decide you wish to ignore the GPL, then your rights are simply those provided to you by copyright law.
