An apology to the conspiracy theorists
Up to a short while back, I considered most of the comments about Kobo trying to block hackers from modifying their code as paranoia and/or conspiracy theory.
After all, zlib does offer a saving in space so that might be an excuse for the earlier changes. Now that Kobo has gone to using XOR to obfuscate the code, some of those conspiracy theories are beginning to sound rather likely. The only use for XOR is to hide information though not very well.
Regards,
David
