Note Submitter: Anonymous ---- The paragraph on code protection is somewhat misleading. While it is correct that the exact source code can not be recreated this does not offer anything in terms of code protection and lures people into a false sense of security. The same was thought of machine code until backward-engineering became so advanced that programs were "rewritten" to change the behaviour of functions or enable/disable them and the same is true for classes. Overconfidence and "impossibilities" are what people looking for a challenge thrive on. Encryption and obfuscation are ways to make it more difficult but not impossible. As a general rule if it can be executed it can be modified so if you don't want it to be put under the microscope then don't release it in the first place.
