There were some patches for a SafeDisc driver that might violate the DMCA so they were never
accepted and if I remeber right it didnt support SD2.

It very probably does not violate DMCA, but 'only' copyright. So with a clean 
room implementation there is a chance that it will be included. At least this 
was conclusion from the last discussion.

And yes it did not support SD2. Tough it should be not hard to implement 
support, if you have a program with SD2. If you are interested, then you 
should look at list archives and all the threads where Laurent Pinchart 
participated. AFAIK he was only working on this and related issues in wine.

You can use Google's advanced search option to search the archives (by 
specifying the site.)

I have sent an updated patch to wine-devel recently. That should be pretty 
close to current cvs. (Or I can do a cvs diff if somebody needed)
