It's not just the fact of them stating they will put Leopard on the machine. It is the machine name 'OpenMac.' Years ago Apple trademarked the word 'Mac' as it pertains to computer hardware and operating systems, thus this company is violating the trademark with their use of 'OpenMac.'
Change the name to 'OpenMike' and offer to provide instruction on installing Leopard, then they should be clear of lawsuit territory as it is now the owner of Leopard who is violating the EULA of the system software.

What's to stop these guys from selling this computer if they remove the "we'll install Leopard for you" option?
