But would you be actually responsible for it if someone changes your contract without your knowledge? Even if you are the one serving it?<p>So, if I went to a car dealership with my own modified contract in hand, and surreptitiously changed it for the one being put forth by the dealer and got him to sign it, would he be bound by that contract? (independent of whether or not I am committing a crime in that scenario)<p>Re: The code can be replaced. Sure, I am not worried about losing code at rest, for anything non-trivial you should have plenty of copies of a git repository anyways. But if modified code gets deployed, then suddenly you can take actions that might cost human lives or leak sensitive data and that genie can&#x27;t be put back in the bottle, at any cost.
