> All the crackers and modders of the 80s and 90s would disagree. There was no expectation of access to any source code, yet people modified software in more ways than ever. You only needed a hex editor and debugger. PC magazines would even publish binary patches of the form "change byte in foo.exe from 3F to 9A". That typically let you unlock otherwise locked or hidden features. I'd like to see anyone add support for a new MIDI control surface in Ardour just using a byte editor.
