Any software developer can get thousands of IP addresses by altering a piece of pirated software to include something new of their own design and sharing it in a venue where it hasn't been shared on before. There are many many other ways and people _think_ of them, _use_ them, are _observed_ using them, and things spread and grow. Relying on IPv4 scarcity is great because it makes it a lot harder to compromise that aspect of the network for the _average_ person. And your software is small so nobody is going to try to compromise it for any serious reason. If it is a valuable idea, then once it is open source people will discuss and fix security vulnerabilites, but you should be aware that they exist so you can relate around them.
