OSx86 Project not too happy with Psystar either {Engadget}
Apr 16th 2008 4:33PM that's my question as well... at no point do they offer to sell you someone else's code. From what I see, they are not even charging for their service. So from what I can tell, it's no different than asking a friend to install it for you.

Apr 16th 2008 2:26PM I'm curious. Where does it say they are selling OSx86 software? How could Apple take issue with them, as they are only selling a retail version of Leopard that you could buy yourself from Apple? I'm just trying to educate myself here.

Intel sued for Core 2 Duo patent infringement -- by the University of Wisconsin {Engadget}
Feb 7th 2008 1:46PM "I mean, the student paid tuition for this transfer of knowledge." The student did pay for the transfer of knowledge. They did not, however, pay for a license to use the patented work.

Feb 7th 2008 12:40PM It's a good question, but I'm not sure it is easily answered. First off, if a student learned the process in class, that is not necessarily an opportunity to use the exact process when s/he gets to Intel, mainly because it is not there idea. Now if they take the knowledge and develop their own, unique process based on what s/he learned, then it could be ok. Keep in mind, patents are often about the process of how to do something, not what something is. This situation is actually worse because, according to the blog, Intel learned about the process from the professor and I believe damages can be doubled when you knowingly violate a patent.
As a side note, I'm not sure you can receive patents on software. I believe they are currently only covered under copyright.
