I did not see in the developer docs a "discussion" of the ins and outs
of whether an Android Market offering is copy-protected or not beyond
the facts a protected one

1.  will be larger (how much?  a fixed overhead?)
2.  will be one the user cannot back up. (meaning it goes away if the
phone wipes?)

I confess to being a pretty new Android user and developer (first app
getting near being ready for the Market), and have not even considered
the implications of the two implications touched upon.

My questions are probably:

1. Do users look askance at protected apps?
2. Do apps not copy-protected receive a meaningfully greater loss to
copying (how would one know, of course)?
3.  What proportion of Market apps are in the two camps?

I'd like any insights and rationale other devs have used in guiding
their own decisions.
