What would happen if...
 
Can you imagine what could happen if someone would release an open source project in obfuscated C ?!?!?!? Hard to read and impossible to mantain...!

you mean, like perl? :)

I believe that is against the license (GPL anyway)...

"The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it..."

Deliberately obfuscated code falls out of that definition I believe.

what my seen "obfuscated" to one might be normal to another

d1s4st3r 06-27-2004 07:12 AM

uhm, not at all... :-)
how the community will answer if this could happen?
