Well, to the second question first: if something gets clobbered, it
is common to restore it from the distribution media. "Tar xvfkb ..."
and your file is back.
The pernicious practice of "branding" the software is not helpful
here. It also doesn't stop the free flow of illicit copies; anyone
who "borrows" the disks is likely to borrow the sheet on which the
silly serial number and "activation key" are stored. At the same
time, it causes problems for the legitimate user, who must keep
track of the silly numbers/activation strings, and be sure that he
doesn't directly restore anything which gets clobbered.
