If what I think Florence is saying is true, and the foundation has not stepped in, then how did this string get into the spam filter? Who decided to put it there and for what reason?

Please don't do this, employee of the Foundation.
David is pretty much right here - the issue right now isn't legality, it's notability. We're not a newspaper. Wait a month, see how this plays out, and then we can write the right article. Any article written right now isn't an encyclopedia article, it's a piece of Internet activism about the right to publish the string "09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0." Which, as that last sentence demonstrates, I'm all for.
But Wikipedia isn't the place to do that now.
If the Foundation steps in, the message becomes "the issue here is a legal one," and an important editorial judgment is erased.
