Would be awesome if Apple lost-the end of the EULA for all!!!
Chances are Apple won't lose.
If they did the precedent would be a positive one. It would pretty much invalidate all EULA. Microsoft and Apple and all those software companies with their restrictive EULA would not longer be able to push users around.
I remember some Microsoft EULA stated you couldn't post anything negative about their products or post performance statistics! WHAT?
AutoDesk claims you cannot resell their software.
Apple claims you cannot try to install on non-Apple hardware.
Most claim you cannot reverse engineer or make backup copies.
All things that should fall well within a users right after paying good money for something.
