Page 7 of CKK's Final Decree on Microsoft --


No provision of this Final Judgment shall:

1. Require Microsoft to document, disclose or license to third parties: (a)
portions of APIs or Documentation or portions or layers of Communications
Protocols the disclosure of which would compromise the security of a
particular installation or group of installations of anti-piracy,
anti-virus, software licensing, digital rights management, encryption or
authentication systems, including without limitation, keys, authorization
tokens or enforcement criteria; or (b) any API, interface or other
information related to any Microsoft product if lawfully directed not to do
so by a governmental agency of competent jurisdiction.


Does this mean that section (b) hints that USG has a vested interest in some
parts of Windows being kept secret???  Conspiracy theories abound, and
inquiring minds want to know....
