Apple’s license (which isn’t crap outside of the United States and isn’t remidied by a sticker on your PC box) states the terms of how you are allowed to use their property just as the GPL states the terms under which you are allowed to use the property of those coders who have GPL’d it. It will be interesting to see if the OSS community respects Apple’s intellectual property as they expect companies like Linksys to (who make routers based of GPL software and have violated that GPL license on occassion).

“a) Try getting a Superdrive from Apple when your original machine didn’t come with one. 1) Upgrading your system is like pulling teeth.”
