My "Surely this is one of the first applications that popped into your mind." and mentioning "demographics" was a priming attempt partly prompted by the authors' affiliations.
Another question is: how pertinent could this be and could it serve as evidence. Is it as "receivable in court" as fingerprints? If it can be "evidence", how to deal with tampering and entities trying to frame each other by mimicking each other's fingerprint to 'cover their tracks'? Could there be a "market" for fingerprints where you just download a set of fingerprints, write [and compile] your code, and then "apply" the prints to the code? Would there be tools to detect genuine, organic, fingerprints from synthetic or after the fact prints? Can you detect how "fresh" these prints are? Can there be a "glove" equivalent so your fingerprints don't show? Can there be a tool to remove your fingerprints after the fact? Can you apply multiple prints successively? This is indeed fascinating.
