Exactly, I want to see if that "you don't buy it, you license it" would hold up in court.

I don't think Apple should provide support in the situations you describe, and I don't think anyone in this thread has said that either have they? Many software only vendors only support their software on specific hardware platforms, that's not new.

Of course Honda's not going to support you with putting a Toyota engine in it, no one is asking for that. And if you leased a vehicle, you still have the right to put a toyota engine in it if you want because you do own it, you've just broken the clause that kicks in at the end where they agree to take it back at the end of the lease for x dollars, so you lose that option.

If I purchased a full version of OXS for $399, installed it on a clone, and then needed support I'd be SOL. Which is pretty much how all Microsoft users are anyway
