That's not a very good line at all. I don't modify source LZ-compressed, yet that is how I distribute most of my code and how most of the source in Debian is distributed. We're talking about a case where a developer has used a lossy compression algorithm (which I think we all agree is foolish and useless) that can be more-or-less reversed with tools readily available in most programmers' toolset. It's not run through an obfuscator, nor is it object code or virtual machine code, nor is it code generated from a higher-level language. ~Evan -- Evan Prodromou <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The Debian Project (http://www.debian.org/)
