There's something wrong, Fred, when an educational resource is scared to publish (or even mention in discussion besides oblique references to "that key" or "the number") a -numeral-.
That battle was lost when it became illegal to produce or publish any technology designed to circumvent copy protection.
Unlike some of the other subject specific free speech restrictions (copies of money, child porn, truly obscene materials per US defn, etc), this restriction is offensive to me and extremely silly given how easily and widespread people are republishing the info. However, that's the law.
I hope eventually to see the law here overturned. Until that day, organizations need to be sensitive to violations of it. WP gains nothing from taking up the fight here. It's not an encyclopedia function to distribute copy protection breaking software or keys.
