Mark, I completely agree with your concerns. Since the site is sponsored by an academic institution, it's perhaps a little bit more trustworthy, but there are still good academic reasons for archiving your app, and there's no guarantee it's not just sitting in their database.. I haven't emailed the authors, but I would also suspect that they would be hesitant to give away their source (as it's still an active research project, iirc). Perhaps I will ask them if they plan to distribute the source someday, but currently I don't believe the source is available. (It would also be interesting just to learn what kind of static analysis they used.) kris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
