Another Mac Clone Maker, with a Twist

I take it Open Tech hasn't been reading the news, or they would have heard that Apple doesn't take kindly to clone makers. After all, it's only been a week since Apple sued Mac clone maker Psystar. On the other hand, this is a clone with a twist.

Open Tech is selling Mac clones, yes, but they won't install the OS for you. Instead they will provide a kit that will allow the end user to install Mac OS X. What they are trying to avoid is this part of the EULA for Mac OS X:

"You agree not to install, use or run the Apple Software on any non-Apple-labeled computer, or to enable others to do so."

Except - they're not really avoiding it, are they? That "enable others to do so" clause is a gotcha.

Right now, nothing is available anyway. The site simply says "coming soon" for all their models. Is this to give Apple enough time to sue before they waste time trying to take orders (heh)?

Also, the site has a .tk country code top-level domain (ccTLD). That would be Tokelau, a territory of New Zealand located in the South Pacific. Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean they are headquartered in Tokelau.

More to come, I'm sure.
