If you're referring to the that DeCSS

DeCSS is a Windows-only executable file; there never
was a Linux version, and the claim that it was
developed as a Windows file
because Linux didin't support the DVD file structure
is
nonsense. Moreover, if you need the windows OS to
decrypt a DVD, then you
already have a computer that can play the DVD.
Funny. I first came across decss as source for Linux. It wasn't until
later that it was ported to Winblows.
