I already wrote: I will never delete any file.
The subject of my email reveals this: "Basic Instinct" which sounds as a
provocation. As you know, a good developer is a rational person. He never
applies basic instincts. At least on the computer, I mean.
Thanks for the good suggestions on how to protect the software. I appreciate
it a lot. Closed.
Best Regards
