- _carbyau_ 5y agoTrue, however if a user can see the code being run is "bad" then the user now knows. Not many people are going to exercise this right, but having it as an option is nice.
- michaelmrose 5y agoIf you provide obfuscated code you would be in violation of the license. It might even be a factor in higher damages.
- hansvm 5y agoI think their point was that a lot of code isn't very good, even without being obfuscated. Unless you're implying that unintentional obfuscation of that nature could trigger those clauses?
