I am killing the vulnerability and licensing/copyright protection thread. Copyright protection is an unsolvable problem. You are trying to protect code running in an untrusted environment. There is little you can do. Knowing you will fail it boils down to figuring out whether you at least want to put in a system to stop to ankle biters. Of curse once a crack is developed it will be in every warez ftp/web site in the planet. So why even try? Someone mentioned that at the very least security companies should perform a good faith effort to stop people from using their products to break into systems. Even if you don't succeed it keeps the lawyers away. -- Elias Levy Security Focus http://www.securityfocus.com/
