To my mind, one thing is to port&boot, say, RockBox or Linux kernel on an iPod. That I would call a reverse engineering feat which as a result brings more liberty to everyone using (not everyone selling, though) the device.

And completely different thing is to bend along latest Apple's software changes. This is like bullet vs armour competition : one day you solve and defeat Apple's locking trick, next day Apple invents a new trick against you.

I would compare this news item we are commenting now with something like 'Hack OSX to make it boot on plain PC'.
