This deal with DST seems like a bonanza for crooks. I have been getting tons of emails from my customers asking for the DST patch. I could easily charge some amount of $ by simply recompiling the app with new release number. I would not do that but I am not sure that everybody is as honest as I am (he said blushing :)).
