RebelEFI: more information

Received an email from Psystar regarding RebelEFI, their method that allows users to install Mac OS X on generic hardware:

Compatible Hardware:

The RebelEFI Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) can be found at http://wiki.psystar.com . Here you will be able to find information regarding your hardware. If your device/computer is not listed it doesn’t mean it wont load. You may download a trail copy at http://cdn.psystar.com/rebelefi_latest.iso and give it a shot. We suggest everyone uses the trail before they purchase. At this time AMD processors are not supported. Updates to RebelEFI including change log will be posted both on http://wiki.psystar.com and http://community.psystar.com . Hardware still not working? Don’t get discouraged. Psystar is actively adding more hardware support to RebelEFI. Psystar will at no charge inspect your physical computer for hardware compatibility. You will need to emaillabs@psystar.com to receive a DID (Device Identification Number), once this number is issued you will need to ship you computer to Psystar headquarters and include a return shipping label. More information will be received
when applying for a DID.

Netkas wrote a seemingly cryptic post on Friday with the title “Parasites, such parasites” followed by “You all know who I’m talking about”.

It’s safe to assume Netkas is referring to Psystar who are moving to cash in on the desire of some users to use Mac OS X without a Mac. RebelEFI is clearly at odds with the open-source Chameleon initiative that Netkas supports.
