The spreading code was cracked in the US, you can bet the EU would  
pressure the US to prosecute the crackers of their encryption if they  
lived in the US. Many other countries has DCMA type laws. And, as I  
say, the production encryption may very well be so secure that no one  
short of the NSA has a realistic chance to succeed.

Regardless, my point was that nothing significant actually occurred  
with this "cracking" in terms of the future of Galileo.
