A federal court has granted Apple’s motion for permanent injunction against Psystar, a decision that not only protects current hardware and software but all future versions as well. Pending an appeal, something I can guarantee won’t succeed, the company has until the New Year to cease and desist on selling, copying, modifying, and doing whatever else it was doing with Apple property.
Psystar tried to keep Rebel EFI, the software that allows you to install OS X on the machine of your choice, out of the injunction. The judge made it clear, though, that Psystar should just comply without too much question.
“Psystar will be selling Rebel EFI at its peril, and risks finding itself held in contempt if its new venture falls within the scope of the injunction.”
Sounds pretty cut and dry to me. Of course, I don’t know how you could delude yourself into thinking you were in the right in this situation. All of this stuff belongs to Apple, and Rebel EFI is just open-source software that Psystar has put in a box.
