What a bold statement, are you telling me it works with closed source
software? :P
Depends on your definition of 'works' I guess :-)
With closed source software, it takes rather longer to figure out a way
around the obscuring mechanism(s), but if enough people are interested
in doing so, they will. With open source software, pretty much anyone
can get around such mechanisms in a short period of time.
