Re: Am I the only one

The only proprietary code that I know of that might qualify was a BIOS. This was in the time frame that I had realized that I was a hacker, not a programmer. I definitely needed brain bleach after reading it. It was embarrassing to read. I can only imagine how I would feel reading that same code after 25 years as a programmer.

My fear is that I might learn some useful technique which is considered specific to the licensed code. My comprehension and memory is such that it might be an issue.
