Bad example. Psystar was built on selling computers with stolen copies  
of MacOS. According to the EULA (which was enforcable in the US), you  
can only use it on a real Apple Mac.

It's also something thousands of people have done, but none hang  
around for a long time, and none do it commerically. It was IMHO good  
that they did fold, if they could do it, then it is likely that all  
licenses of that type would be unenforcable, including the GPL.
