I don't see this defense working. Apple has the copyright to OSX, and they can choose to license it to whoever they want. Just because MS has liberal licensing terms with Windows doesn't mean Apple has to have them.

Not now, but they might in the future. If Apple gets a significant share of the OS market, you can bet competition authorities are going to nail them for making both hardware and software essentially proprietary, simply because it certainly decreases competition (and if they have a significant market share, this will become a real issue).

This is a joke. Don't get me wrong, I'm on Psytar's side here but the antitrust accusation is laughable. Antitrust laws as applied today are generally intellectual indefensible, but in this case it's just a joke. Seriously - if you don't like apple, buy someone else's product. They better have a better plan than a claim of antitrust which will be laughed out of court.
