Of course it has context if this is being presented as a legal issue. The original article doesn't really mention it (although it's easier to assume now with the hindsight of a complete comment thread). I believe you are "even more guilty" if you de-obfuscate someone's code, then copy and republish/reuse.
- dandelany 17y agoThere is no such thing as "more guilty". You are or you aren't.
- scott_s 17y agoIt indicates intent and state of mind. "More guilty" is just an expression that means "more evidence for guilt."
- dandelany 17y agoOK - I can see what you mean. However, I still disagree. De-obfuscation does not provide more evidence that infringement occurred, it simply implies that whoever did it likely knew they should not be doing it, which has (I believe) absolutely no legal implication.
