Most are the result of reverse engineering. The registered names are not
person names, but more often the names of the cracker (or rather their
avatars). For commercial applications I'm not sure...It is possible that
some Photoshop serials actually belonged to someone before they leaked. And
Adobe has no chance to know who leaked them.
