If it's "just code" someone somewhere is going to do it eventually, restrictions notwithstanding. Might as well do it in the open and publish about it so the problem space and its implications are (at least potentially) the o

Wouldn't a semi-malicious actor be mostly in the clear if they provided the upstream code and a statement declaring they make no modifications to the provided source directly? If so, what would the recourse be? I can't imagine a c
