Linux is not about restricting distribution of anything.
Perhaps you should raise these questions on one of the Apple mailing=20
lists where you will meet equally paranoid minds. Bringing these issues
up on this list is out of line.
Have you ever signed a file with GNUPG? That's a watermark. Have
you ever used an SHA or MD5 signature of a file, and verified those
signatures with GNUPG?
It's my understanding that "watermarks" are more than this. That you
can add a watermark to a CD and that if it is played on a computer it
has a phone-home feature so that Big Brother will know that an
(un)authorised person has been given control of the CD.
Nope, that's not watermarking.
I never did research to see if these black helicopters are real or not,
However, my brother-in-law in Nashville used to get to listen to
pre-released albums... but since he wasn't the official reviewer, he
needed to play the CD's only in audio CD players -- since playing it on
a PC would get him and his source in Big Trouble.
It would only if the OS he used to play the CD also ran the software
embedded on the CD.
