Well not licencing MacOS back in the day was obviously one of the major causes of Apple nearly falling off the face of the planet. So if they want to learn from ther (many) historical blunders and licence the iPod while it is at its current peak of popularity, more power to them. Way to go Steve!
Face it, modchips are illegal and are primarily used for pirating. Courts have said again and again that if something is *primarily* used for illegal means, then it is illegal. Like bongs and pipes, "They're for tobacco", sure they are buddy, they are as illegal as modchips (as roundups of bong makers in oregon/pennsylvanya have shown). People all pissed off about the DMCA in any form just want to keep running around in a lawless technoworld where everything is free (as is the current case). Hmm, sounds a lot like what Pablo Escobar was doing in Columbia....
