Yes, and it apparently burns lots of tokens. But what I've heard is that the outcomes are drastically less expensive than hand-reversing was, when you account for labor costs.

Another asymmetric advantage for defenders - attackers need to burn tokens to form incomplete, outdated, and partially wrong pictures of the codebase while the defender gets the whole latest version plus git history plus documentation plus organizational memory plus original authors' cooperation for free.

> Tokens can also be burnt on decompilation.

Prediction 1. We're going to have cheap "write Photoshop and AutoCad in Rust as a new program / FOSS" soon. No desktop software will be safe. Everything will be cloned.

Prediction 2. We'll have a million Linux and Chrome and other FOSS variants with completely new codebases.

Prediction 3. People will trivially clone games, change their assets. Modding will have a renaissance like never before.

Prediction 4. To push back, everything will move to thin clients.
