They will always roll. This is of no relevance to users of free
software systems in this respect.

Please do not be so sure of this. If you are a user of Wine, for

would react to these files is a complete guess. Not likely, I think,
but certainly not impossible, depending on what gets installed.
;-) And hey, isn't Sony just giving the buyers of their CDs 'free
software'?!?!? ;-)

Wine stands for 'Wine Is Not and Emulator' so by definition it cannot
be a true emulator, right? ;-)
However, I agree with your point. I think it unlikely to hurt a Wine
install, but who knows?

I'm not, but it doesn't matter.
In any case, should anyone exploit a vulnerability in a free software
component, it would get fixed after 20 seconds. Such a "cd" or
whatever would be "obsolete" before it hit the stands and all of their
code would be useless.
Such a scheme can not work in the free software domain.
