Why do you need a license if you clean rook reverse engineer the algorithm and you then buy books using your PID?

The authors of FBReader are very sensitive to propriety claims on formats, and so, for example, FBReader does not support LIT because the details of the format have never been disclosed by MicroSoft. This isn't necessarily an obstacle to buying DRMed content, or LIT ebooks, if you are comfortable with stripping DRM and format shifting for personal use.

So that is the reason why they do not support meta information in MobiPocket books. Maybe that should be pointed out clearly to user of FBReader so the consequences of secret formats are more visible.
