The implementation that Google offers also embeds code, which is inherently insecure but the docs also says: "For example, a copy-protected application cannot be downloaded from Market to a device that provides root access" This would limit the ability of people to pull off the application off of a rooted device. Is it possible for third-parties to detect if it is a rooted device?
