I doubt Apple would sit idley by as someone makes money hijacking their hardware? I don't think Apple would care as long as they are selling hardware. The OS people choose to use on it is nothing to do with them. I find it very hard to believe that Apple would charge developers a license fee for porting a commercial OS to their hardware.Put it another way: If Hyperion decided to port OS4 to Intel, would they have to pay Dell, Lenovo, Toshiba, and all the other manufacturers of IBM Compatible hardware a license fee? I don't think so.--moto
