Actually no, it would be like GM selling parts that a small car company buys and puts in their car then GM saying *you can only put a GM part in a licensed GM car..

Sorry, but that's NOT the case. Apple does not "sell" their software. It's licensed for use. When you "sell" something, the rights to that "something" are transfered to the buyer. In the EULA, you agree to only use that software on a MAC. Given the market share of MACs, there's no way to claim that Apple is monopolistic.

“Apple does not “sell” their software.”

Umm I can go to their site right onw and buy some, it would be one thing if apple only sold the software loaded on hardware but thats not how they roll..

“It’s licensed for use. “

And the question is can you license it as apple is trying to do? are willing to say *if* gm took a part they sell and added a license that it could only be used on GM cars that such an arrangement is legal?

“In the EULA, you agree to only use that software on a MAC.”

Eula’s are rather controversial and this case will help iron out that question. Can you restrict where an *unaltered* piece of software is installed..
