In a complaint filed in District Court, Northern District (San Francisco), Apple has taken Psystar Corporation to task. District Court is a federal court and thus requires response from any defendant no matter where they exist in these United States. Proof of service is important and Psystar’s constant address changes potentially adds complications.

Some salient points from the complaint:

… Psystar began selling in commerce a computer named the OpenMac which app runs a modified, unauthorized, version of the Leopard operating system.

In June, 2008, Psystar began selling in commerce rack-mount servers called OpenServ 1100 and OpenServ 2400. … sold OpenServ 1100 and OpenServ 2400 servers utilizing the Mac OS X Leopard Server software.

… Psystar actions harm consumers by selling to them a poor product that is advertised and promoted in a manner that falsely and unfairly implies an affiliation with Apple.

Possibly their most important point:

Apple has never authorized Psystar to install, use , or sell the Mac OS software on any non-Apple-labeled hardware.

ZDNet has the details, plus a link to the complaint.
