Perhaps I can clarify this issue somewhat.

If he wants Rockbox on the actual NLS players, he can pretty much forget about it. Two reasons. 1) Rockbox would take away the ability to play the protected NLS content for which the players were designed, and (perhaps more importantly) 2) the player is the property of the Federal government and on loan to you. Thus, you're not really allowed to reverse engineer it.

If, however, you want NLS content on supported Rockbox players, you can pretty well forget about that, too, again for two reasons: 1) the NLS will not authorize it, or very likely would not, and again more importantly, 2) Rockbox does not and, I understand, will not support DRM-protected content.
