Reverse engineering - isn't that common practice? wtbw reverse-engineered the MSN hashing algorithm, which I'm sure several developers use. I do. And, to an extent, Patchou and many plugin developers have reverse engineered Messenger so they can get under the hood and tinker.

It's just that people don't usually admit to reverse engineering, because it can be frowned upon. If I want to know how someone did something, I'll usually start by asking for pointers in the right direction. I don't necessarily want full code (doesn't help people to have full code), but snippets are helpful.

TB, I do agree with you in principle. That's why I have put in the readme for Phoenix 2 that people are able to look at the resources in it, but not change them. Then again, all the resources are strings, piccies and dialogs.
