We'll he did make a semi-valid point about the the tweak eventually being cracked. But I do find it to be quite a straw men.
There is one main problem with releasing the source code, and that is derivatives, of little extra work.
Even if the tweak is cracked, there will still be many who pay for the official version off of BigBoss or the like. However, with derivatives that could eventually add more gestures, and reproduce the full behavior, comex's tweak would become muddled in a pool of competitors.
Most piracy arguments come down to 'well we're gonna do it anyways so give us the keys to the castle beforehand.' This basic argument can be torn apart by the very fact of being human. We live to die but still fight to live. Caving in before a battle has begun is fundamentally inhuman
- saurik 13y agoRight: the "one main problem with releasing the source code, and that is derivatives, of little extra work" is the one that comex first sets up and then immediately shoots down as if it were of no consequence ("making it easier for someone else to simply clone it, but I would not personally consider either of those a big deal"). (I respond as it isn't clear whether you are intending to agree with me or not, but your comment definitely agrees with my argument ;P.)
