#150894 - Recovering lost code
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I mainly deal with the replacement of obsolete products. And I come across numerous cases where a company has lost their source code. And in some cases, the only copy is in a locked microprocessor.

The ability to lose source code is not limited to small companies and individuals. I have seen code lost by the biggest corporations and governments too.

This is a classic "dual-use" technology issue. Good versus bad is in the user, not in the technology.

Also, discussions of security can help individuals do a better job of protecting their own code.
