No it isn't, it is a violation of Apple's license that governs that code

I love how you cut the context out. Let's look at what you posted of me saying:

what those hackers did was...perfectly legal.
And what I actually wrote:
BTW, a big part of what those hackers did was to emulate EFI to get OS X to boot. It's sort of the opposite of what Apple's own Boot Camp does, and perfectly legal.
Notice that I did not address the breaking of the encryption that ties OS X to Apple's computers. I addressed only the perfectly legal emulation of the open Extensible Firmware Interface (Apple does the reverse, emulating BIOS because x86 Windows can't understand EFI). Also, much of the code for EFI was released by Intel as open source.

You are truly vile for such blatant misrepresentation.

I'm obviously not misrepresenting anything, you've been lying and defending foreign hackers for months. and again here today. The record is crystal clear, you've even outright admitted your first lies glorifying Russian hackers were intentional. Don't blame me, you're caught like a bug in your own web of deceit.
