I think Corel and VA are on a collision course. Corel with closed source tools and VA with opensource tools (I've never heard anyone use the word opensource as much as Augustin). And lets not forget about Red Hat and Cygnus.
There is a lot of money involved here, and a lot of companies that are trying to trump Micro$oft. Whatever happens it'll be interesting, however, in the end I still think the business ethic will mean that things won't get a whole lot better.
It seems like almost no one here understands what the DCMA says (which the judge is ruling on). Based on the law the judgement is perfectly logical!! Only by changing the DCMA can deCSS become legal in the USA (and I doubt the DCMA is unconstitutional either).
I know this isn't a popular view, hopefully if a big enough stink is made some necessary changes will be made (I think it is ridiculous that in the US it is will be illegal to view digital copyright material without a licensed player).
