I built a 90.7kb tool that strips out Windows screen capture protection, but now I am concerned about whether I should make it open source. I’m worried it can be misused for piracy or to violate DRM policies.

I built it because I had a piece of software that wouldn’t let me copy text. I tried using Windows OCR to copy it, but it just showed a black screen.

The tool is great for personal use, but it can be misused, so I am concerned. Any thoughts on this? Will I get into legal trouble if I make it public on GitHub?

I don’t want to get into any trouble, so I need expert advice from someone who is experienced.

    It’s just simple injection, it does not break the Windows EULA but it may break the EULA for the applications you inject into.
