Reread my post; I'm not saying anything of the sort.

I'm saying that if there was no WINDOW (ie. "hole", whatever) in the first place, there would be no need for "bars" (ie. ReFox "branding").

ReFox introduced the "hole" (ie. decompilation) that your "thieves" can now use, and ReFox is now generously offering to close it again for you (via their feeble branding ... your "bars").

>Except I have a gun. IOW, I have protection and I'll blow your brains all over my walls if you break in. Or the person to whom you give the key.

You're one scary fellow ... particularly since the person "to whom I gave the key" has not even shown any intent at this point (similar to someone with a copy of ReFox and now has to decide what they intend to do with it, or not).

Bye.
