Before asking such nonsense questions, try reading the title of this
thread and one of the quotes objected to.

"Even if Psystar were the lawful owner of the copy, it still can't do
what it did. The court quotes from Microsoft Corp. v. Software
Wholesale Club, Inc.: "the first-sale doctrine does not apply to an
admittedly counterfeit unit". So, no, you can't buy a copy and use it
to go into a counterfeiting business, in effect. Terekhov's theory has
bitten the dust and then had to eat some. Just like Daniel Wallace's
anti-GPL theory did. Whoever is relying on their legal theories might
want to buy a vowel and try to figure this puzzle out."

If you still have to ask such silly questions then you don't belong
here. Try Groklaw instead.
