Yes, but that code wasn't mine either as I wrote at another company as their product. When I added my "hidden" traces I did that with no intention to claim ownership, but rather to leave a signature just in case. Technically the 1st company should have sued him, but I can't know for sure the details; the old project was then dead, and he could have purchased the sources legally, although I doubt that.

- squarefoot 5y agoI honestly don't know, I for sure couldn't foresee that some years later I would have been called from others to work on the same sources. The work environment was really good and I wished the project lasted more, but alas all good things must come to an end. Anyway I had no explicit reason to leave traces other than maybe some odd reasoning after listening to a ("toxic", as some of us realized later) colleague talking about bad experiences in other places and signing his sources in a similar way, but to me it was mainly a "Kilroy was here" thing.
