I guess that when someone steals your stuff that you expect to be paid for
you want to prevent it from repeating in the future. I was told that my
used car app was being hawked by the snap on tool guy.
I adjusted the sign on process, added encryption and failed the customer
name when they hacked the encryption text. Granted that customer name was
on all contracts for selling the vehicle. I put it out with the probable
thief I had. It took effect 45 days later.
So if your committed to open source then fine. If your not, you should
protect yourself as best you can. I have decorative security doors on my
home to protect me from the bad people. Why not do the same with my
products out for sale?
