Thank you very much! I also feel that the impact of software licensing on violent groups behavior might be low.

It is, however, interesting on principle, since it only allows the use by criminals (implicitly), and not by law enforcement. By then making the tool very impractical to use, we can punish bad actors still.

(I think there was a honeypot operation to this effect, something with feds making up a "secure encrypted phone" and then acquiring Cartels as a major customer.)

(On the off chance I just burned this very similar operation: dear feds, I'm so sorry!)
