I can't believe that DTS put that in.  For those of you who haven't
read it, the CD license reads roughly "If you read anything from this
CD, you'll know proprietary information and trade secrets of Apple,
and we'll be forced to kill you."

Seeing how DTS is going crazy trying to get this information to
people, the draconian license is way off base.
