What happened is that the BIOS was so simple, that other companies were able
to duplicate the functionality of the BIOS with their own code. That is how
they got around the legal problems. The Mac ROMs were much more difficult to
duplicate functionality wise and I think, but don't know for sure that that
is why it never happened to Macs.
