gollark: I'll admit the code is a bit bad now but PotatOS Hypercycle is coming soon with *major* refactors.
gollark: <@!259973943060856833> Like what?
gollark: WRONG!
gollark: PotatOS is able to make omnidisks somewhat unduplicateable, *but* that only works because their value comes from being cryptographically signed and able to run in privileged mode on potatOS - you can run them anywhere else, it just won't be useful.
gollark: Anyway, you can't really copy-protect software in CC. At all. The best you can do is use a bunch of obfuscation techniques together to make it mildly hard to do anything with it, and add some code to check computer ID or something.
