I want Pystar to win. I’m sick of having Apple forcing me to buy one of their computers to run their platform. Apple has lost countless billions buy keeping their system a closed shop.

No, they haven't. Apple makes billions on doing so. The last time they attempted to license the Mac OS it almost killed the company.

Psystar is perfectly able to do what Apple did. Psystar could build their own OS based on the same open sources that Apple has. They could do the research and spend the years and money to develop their own GUI and APIs to hook into the UNIX core and MACH kernel that Apple has done. They can even use the open source applications that Apple has developed and placed out under open source licenses. They prefer to violate Apple's copyright rights and ignore the licenses that Apple DOES use to allow users to have access to their intellectual property.

Socialists like Obama like to claim to be "liberal" and "progressive," but the Constitution which they seek to undermine is the gold standard of what is liberal and progressive:

We the people of the United States, in order to . . . secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Article 1 Section 8. The Congress shall have power . . . To promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries . . .
