Here's a twist: By making what you made, you've made it possible for LEA to categorize and fingerprint malware/open source anonymous software etc etc. This will go unnoticed for many years, until the first big player gets busted by it (publically, because many more were busted before in secret). Once that happens, it will become the standard practice to fuzz your source code with random methods to obscure the author. In a sense, someone will have to make something that turns "regular" code into unreadable gibberish before compiling... because of what you wrote

You're far too accusatory toward the author here. Various LEA and other parties not associated with law enforcement have vested interests in pursuing this technology anyway. If it was possible, one of them was going to find it. It's very possible that similar discoveries were already made but kept secret. At least now the rest of the world knows this is possible and can mount a defense if they feel it is necessary.
