Yeah. It's "secret". Unh-hunh. Sure.
Legally, it probably is, but technically, it's probably one of the most 'open' secrets around. I believe if it weren't for the aggressive legal protection done by Mobipocket, we'd have dozens of black-box implementations of the DRM'd version floating around - in a matter of weeks.
