first of all: 19 hours ago, and the repository is still online?

While not hard, it is not super-easy either, they are encrypted etc. Anyone with a bit of knowledge about python and debugging a Windows application and a few hours can do it.


You can't decompile a program if you don't have a copy of said program.

However, when the decompiled sources are uploaded to a public server, nobody needs the original program, to use it.
