It depends. Although they always have entirely separate contexts.

This is a good idea. Do you have a package in mind?

Upload your manifest and find out! :)

What makes this service not real?

It makes me really happy to see this comment :)

Yes. Provided you had access to the original source code. Pheonix technologies did this with the IBM bios.

Strange. This is exactly how I made malus.sh

Is it satire? Or is it a warning?

It's described on the web page but it's by having 2 agents. One has access to the code and one doesn't.

Is it satire if it actually works and you can pay real money for it?

I do like this idea, more difficult to do without access to the original source code, and I think that this would be more "reverse engineering" rather than cleanrooming, as you don't have the same concerns about copyright violation if you're working from a binary.

It works. It is hooked up to Stripe. You can upload your package.json and receive a fully cleanroomed set of dependencies to use yourself. It is up to you to determine whether this is a compelling product or a warning to those who care about FOSS.
