   But Apple is a commercial system. They do not provide free software. On   
   all systems, you can install commercial software only on the machines   
   the license entitles you. If it is one machine, then it is a single,   
   one, machine.   
      
   It is perfectly fair for Apple to provide commercial software. Many   
   companies do the same for other operating systems. Nobody is obligated   
   to provide their software as free. It is their choice, and no, you can   
   not blame or insult them for that. Just don't buy it. That's your choice   
   as customer.
