Get ready for a lawsuit Apple will lose
http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/infolaw/2006/11/22/thanksgiving-for-new-dmca-exceptions/
a new provision allowing circumvention of access controls in cell phone handsets that can prevent use of the phone on other wireless carriers (including using your GSM phone in Europe ? sort of defeats the purpose of GSM if you are ?locked in? by your domestic carrier?).

If it isn't illegal, even in this DMCA's country, to unlock your phone, Apple making it into a brick will be against the law.

P.S. I would not expect Apple to try anything less, if the iPods work on Linux, try to mess with them for no reason that to mess with them.
