All they did is to change the font to Symbol. (Why? I have no idea...if they were trying to keep something secret, did they think no one could read those funny foreign letters...?) Or maybe now they'll sue all of us who read and transliterated them under the DMCA for encryption-breaking...

Skylarov was jailed for breaking encryption of similar security, under the DMCA. Those of you who changed the Symbol font back are in fact now federal criminals under USA law. You may wish to flee this free country now. -Rob

The only way to be safe is to cut it off and destroy it before the feds look at you. (And, yes, the DMCA really is that silly.) -Rob

By changing code in an effort to obfuscate they have done the very thing they accuse our community of. Bonk Bonk on the head!

With the "criminal" minds that are feading SCO more than clue cards, its no wonder!... What is not good, is that they can predict Linux/OSS movements... I belive a "REALLY BIG PUSH" to LSB to completly cover the Desktop, would suprise and scare them to dead! If all this sound to you as nosense, than you better think again, because you are confused about how "fox smart" business minds work.

"Everything's legal in Mexico. It's the American way!" If I have misquoted, or given credit to the wrong mouth that uttered that wisdom please correct me...

I guess I've got an illegal decryption device embedded in my head then... I just read the text as it was. (Thanks to whoever made the Symbol font for making the transliteration pretty easy!) How am I supposed to keep from violating the DMCA with such an embedded technology...? No, don't answer that. :-)

Actually I would think SCO would be in trouble with the DMCA before anyone for violating copywrite law by changing the text as originally written. They have moddified the character set without permission of the author.Heise reports from SCO Forum

I did a Google on the phrase, and the results showed that the phrase wasHeise reports from SCO Forum
"Hell, everything's legal in Mexico. It's the American Way." Google also
indicated that it was said by Uncle Jimbo of Southpark.
