Curt:

Just as endnote: Adobe forum thread with clarifications from Dov Isaacs (mentioned in Forbes article) seems to be deleted.
I wonder if it's not my VPN issue?

Nope, it looks like they've rewritten history, as the other staffer's comments were removed as well. They've been all replaced with the official (?) line
we are aware that the software is available for all users with an Adobe ID. You will want to have a valid license for a software title affected by the activation server outage. Please also keep in mind that due to the age of these software titles it is likely that they will not function properly on modern operating systems.

Although this is inaccurate now as well, as you don't need an Adobe ID to access the page and download the software and the serial no.

How typical big-corpy.
They could've let the original statements be, but kept them clearly marked and with a note saying "official statement down below". History rewriting is such a nasty thing, bloody fascists.

the official line seems to be still this - (Post # 68 on the same page)
Effective December 13, Adobe disabled the activation server for CS2 products and Acrobat 7 because of a technical glitch. These products were released over 7 years ago and do not run on many modern operating systems. But to ensure that any customers activating those old versions can continue to use their software, we issued a serial number directly to those customers. While this might be interpreted as Adobe giving away software for free, we did it to help our customers.

I'm not sure what exactly was removed/changed, but I think other comments were/are from Adobe staff that are more, eh, realistic...
Still quite a mess for people who actually bought the software and need to reinstall - many 'titles' are still not available:
