Apple files dismissal motion against Psystar counterclaims

The latest chapter in the David vs Golitha battle has just unfolded in the Northern District of California with a dismissal filing by Apple.
Jobs & Co. state in the claim,
Defendant Psystar Corporation is knowingly infringing Apple’s copyrights and trademarks, and inducing others to do the same. Psystar makes and sells personal computers that use, without permission, Apple’s proprietary operating system software. In an obvious attempt to divert attention from its unlawful actions, Psystar asserts deeply flawed antitrust counterclaims designed to have this Court force Apple to license its software to Psystar, a direct competitor. The Court should reject Psystar’s efforts to excuse its copyright infringement, and dismiss these Counterclaims with prejudice
So to catch you up to speed, Psystar started selling Mac clones, Biggs buys one, Apple sues the company, Psystar countersues, and now this. Maybe a big group hug would help.

I don’t know all the details, but is there a section in the license agreement (or something) that states that the Mac OS can only run on proprietary hardware? I ask only because we see Microsoft Windows and Linux/Unix OS’ running on any hardware that will support it.

Yes, there is: the SLA requires that the destination computer is Apple branded.

Biggs — can you give an update on the Psystar you bought? Is it still working? Is it still loud? Any issues?
