Ok. So, what about downloading data from the net at runtime, then
performing various actions in response to that data? ;-)
One might say that this is similar to how a web browser would render a
page based on the contents of the html data. I would love to read the
legalese where they manage to unambiguously distinguish between code
and data, but I think it would be better performed as a 3-act tragedy.
