I purchased a new copy of OS3.9 last week. It has the EULA printed on the included foldout (inside the jewel case). Like the "Click Me" agreement, I would have to go back to the retailer and ask for my money back on the opened goods, if I disagreed with the terms.

If it interests anyone, I looked up on the local Apple site the email address for the local PR person and sent her an email.

In the email I posed the hypothetical situation of the person running Linux on his generic (non-Apple) PPC hardware, then installing the GPL Mac-On-Linux, then finally installing a legitimately-purchased copy of OS X.

I then asked for an expression of Apple's opinion on this matter - whether it was:
(1) piracy;
(2) a Breach of Contract; or
(3) just a new market for Apple.

Strangely enough, I have received no reply after a week. If I ever get one, I'll let you know.
