There was a company who made a lot of noise around providing "MAC compatibles" recently. They finally wen bankrupt a while ago. http://www.ubergizmo.com/15/archives/2009/05/mac_clone_maker_psystar_goes_bankrupt.html
Bad example. Psystar was built on selling computers with stolen copies of MacOS. According to the EULA (which was enforcable in the US), you can only use it on a real Apple Mac.
It's also something thousands of people have done, but none hang around for a long time, and none do it commerically. It was IMHO good that they did fold, if they could do it, then it is likely that all licenses of that type would be unenforcable, including the GPL.
