>I undertands what you want and I'll repeat my position on your request.
>1. Refox is a decompiler, to help you recover your lost code.
>2. Refox also brands applications to prevent decompilation for other decompilers (including Refox itself if Refox is use as is and not hacked) .

>If Refox is hacked, that changes Refox's vocation and Jan cannot be held responsible for Refox being used in a manner that was not intended. Thus, I fail to see how you expect me to convince Jan to write a free utility, because a hacker decided to make Refox do something other than was intended. The same situation if Refox is hacked to spit out money from your CD door (figure of speech of course), would blame Jan if you thought is does not spit out enough money?

But I never asked for a free utility that deals with a cracked Refox. It is obvious that Jan cannot be held responsible for what is done with a cracked version of Refox. I did also not ask for a free utility that prevents decompilation with all kinds of decompilers. All I plea for is a free utility that can help us prevent decompilation with (a non-cracked) Refox itself. It would be the antidote to a problem that Jan has introduced and therefore is responsible for.



>I think the car analogy was used in the thread before. A car manufacturer supplies you with a car that is intended to by used on roads, to take you from your house to your work (and back). If you decide one day to soup-up your car (change engine for a bigger one) and decide to use your car for drag racing and you end up in a accident, would this make the car manufaturer reponsible? No, because the decision was made to change the vocation of the product.

Constructive frustration is the breeding ground of genius.
If there’s no willingness to moderate for the sake of good debate, then I have no willingness to debate at all.
