Sounds like a disaster to me, unless it can be done automatically, by a proven-correct program. I used to use commercial compilers that (at least claimed to) put their "stamp" on the assembly code they generated, so they could sue if you released a product without having a license for the compiler. Bugs are bad enough as it is; we don't need extra ones that only show up in some copies!
I seem to recall a lawsuit where somebody like Tandy was suing somebody else, claiming they copied the computer's rom code. As proof they pulled out the competitors computer, pressed a certain key combination, and the Tandy copyright flashed up on the screen. As I also recall, they LOST the suit believe it or not... Anybody heard of this? Cerca 1988-1991 I believe. Sure shows what a slick lawyer can get you out of...
