Claim that every app is now effectively open source
Original: Every app on Earth is now open source... whether it likes it or not
A widely shared tech commentary argues that modern tools have made it trivial to reverse-engineer and expose the source code of any application, whether developers consent or not. The claim, framed provocatively, is drawing large audiences in software communities, with debate over what it means for proprietary software, security through obscurity, and developers' ability to protect their code.
Why now: The provocative claim that proprietary apps can no longer keep their code private has struck a nerve in the developer community.
