Nikon issued an advisory
clarification on this issue yesterday.

Good try Nikon.
Clowns. That was my first thought when I heard about this early this week [DP Review article, Adobe Forums post by Photoshop creator Thomas Knoll]. Why do I think Nikon are a bunch of clowns? Basically, by encrypting the white balance data, they are limiting the ability for third parties to read the data and manipulate it. So what? Well, if you're a photographer and use Adobe's Raw Camera plugin for Photoshop, you're kinda outta luck.
Instead, it seems Nikon wants you to buy there Nikon Capture app. It silly stuff like this that makes me really happy I decided to be a "Canon guy" a long time ago.
