Of course including all consequences. We need to make clear that we are not willing to change our license to disallow such modifications. Changing the license wouldn't help, the source code is out of our control after publishing it.

If a shared application token is required that can be revoked at any time and will, I personally would not invest a minute into such a project. It is also an open question how to distribute such a secret(?) token. I'm afraid most services are ruled out just by Mixxx being open-source, i.e. whenever some kind of security by obscurity or validation/signature of the actual code that is running is required.

Why discuss about possible consequences and restrictions that might never become reality? Let's focus on the facts and adhere to the rules, both ours and theirs, as RJ vividly explained. Constructive input and ideas are always welcome, no taboos on thinking!
