What about other possible implications? Many projects where people 
engaged (not employed) - not only software - have additional important 
attributes than what they produce or serve materially:  reliability and 
trustworthy.  There are people out there who rely on what other people 
do. I cannot really code so I need to trust those who claim they can - 
which presupposes that they understand what they do.

There are fundamental (at least social) principles which are really 
endangered and need to be recognized protected. This comes true for a 
wide range of places and situations.

Reading the threat makes me pretty sure, the code lines - itself- 
weren't the issue ;)
