But same applies to adblockers, so google are revenue, not morals driven!
I think it has some merit in that it can remove annoying ads from apps where there there is no option to buy an add free version, or can enable a paid for app to run in airplane mode.
It is a tool, it can be used for good or for bad.
I enjoyed messing with it on my kobo tablet, as a learning experience, though I did end up having to factory reset that tablet eventually.
I no longer have a copy to hand but as I recall, licences was just 1 of many menu options.
The argument that ebook drm tools are somehow more moral because they only work on books you own is fatally flawed, but going into more detail on that here would be inviting a ban, so I won't.

There are actually quite a few neat functions, but most are available in other, less "compromised" apps. Pretty much the only function that I use is the one to remove Google license checks.
I won't pretend that I'm a typical user, though; my setup is actually more paranoid than I let on. My primary device is a NOOK HD that boots from an SD Card. I have several cards witih different Android images. The only one with real information is the one that I actually use to download apps from Google and Amazon, from which I remove the license checks and transfer them to one of my "normal" images, which are tied to Google accounts that don't have any payment information attached.
