It's a sad, sad world we live in where *reading an image file* could be described as `breaking in' to anything :(

It seems to me that the lack of interest that the general public has shown about the increasing problems around intellectual property has emboldened corporations to push even further into claiming ownership of things that people have usually taken for granted. Sooner or later people will wake up to this, and there will be reckoning.

I guess Nikon could try to argue that those correction curves are their proprietary property.
Just another reason to buy Canon. :-)
Many manufacturers obfuscate their RAW data, including Canon. Posted Apr 2, 2007 21:33 UTC (Mon) by pizza (subscriber, #46) [Link] To quote Dave Coffin (of dcraw fame)"
A firestorm of controversy recently erupted when Thomas Knoll of Adobe accused Nikon of encrypting the white balance data in the D2X and D2Hs cameras, thus preventing Adobe from fully supporting these cameras.

Or Pentax, which actually has adopted the Adobe DNG standard raw image format, for its latest K10D digital SLR! Dave Coffin, author of dcraw, has high regard for DNG as a standard format: interview
Working with raw images on Linux Posted Mar 30, 2007 15:59 UTC (Fri) by pointwood (guest, #2814) [Link] I completely agree and this is probably the only major gripe I have about my Nikon D80. Nikon makes some great cameras, it is sad that they do something like this :(
