Notes:
Q- Qualified by place
DNF - Did Not Finish
gollark: However, if I had just never mentioned it, potatOS's lack of (at that time) version control means nobody would actually notice until someone checked for whatever reason, and it would not have been reverse-engineered very fast.
gollark: When I said this, people immediately began to decompile and reverse engineer it.
gollark: For a few versions potatOS contained a DRMish blob hooked to incident reports, for example.
gollark: The question is whether your software will actually attract any malicious people.
gollark: Wait, some cryptographers came up with "indistinguishability obfuscation" a while ago, maybe that will turn into something useful for apious copy protection schemes in a few decades.
