Playing devil's advocate here, I've been in the position to have to recreate
sourcecode many times.  The usual lament is "our programmer left us with
a mess".  In most of these situations, the complainant has been known to
me for years, and there is no doubt in my mind that they were legit.

This happened so often at one company, that we wrote a "re-sourcer"
for our proprietary language, because the source was SO time-consuming
to thread through. There was no distinction between program and data, and
people were writing self-modifying code in it as well. There were usually
lots
of code frags that didn't do anything, data that looked like code, code that
looked like data, data that was never used....  20k of this stuff would
put you in a rubber room in about a week.  Gordian programming :)

I think you're probably right, but we should all be aware that A: this is
sometimes
needed legitimately, and B: wether we like it or not, these guys are out
there.

I prefer to write the code such that someone who rips me off will suffer a
slow
death of a thousand untracable bugs. (This is easier on some platforms than
on others)
