So they dumped their linux provider, instead of ripping it off themselves. I must have been wrong when I claimed they dumped it on their own, all I knew was they had ditched it. Linux was flushed, period, which was the point, it's not like I made up a lie on purpose and perpetuated it for months like you've now had to admit to doing. Along with your other lies you weren't defending Russian hackers on a thread about violations of Apple's intellectual property, or that they weren't even violating the license, your latest lie, although you've probably posted another one now while I'm typing this LOL.

Quick research shows exactly what happened. OTOH, I am surprised, although it was hardly sincere, you finally admitted when you were factually wrong.

Not now, I admitted long before on my own volition. I was sure you'd catch me on it, but you never did, so I finally told you. It was a test of your security knowledge, and you failed miserably.

or that they weren't even violating the license, your latest lie

My question was not whether they were violating the license, which they surely were, but whether that clause of the license is actually enforceable. If it is not enforceable, then what they did would not be a violation of copyright (which was the subject).

Aside from that, emulating EFI is in itself not a copyright violation. Wait a few years into Vista (probably SP2), and that step won't be necessary, as PCs will have finally moved to EFI.
