It's more than just threats at obfuscation:

For instance, http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0307.2/1342.html

        "Regardless of your legal rights or lack thereof,
        should you attempt to reverse engineer BK we'll
        simply stop giving BK out for free. See? Simple."



There are arguments in the same thread about the legality
