Calm down, I totally agree. Simple one-way cryptographic cash (without feasible way of recovering back IMEI number, yet, still allowing identification of every device) would be much better solution.

That said, You can easily modify program to get rid of that function, repack it, and release "backupmenu lite" - it's Open, so no stops You from doing that, as long as you keep it licensed properly.

It's just that, up to date, no one felt need for doing that (due to trust for original creator). Which doesn't mean it wouldn't be welcome warmly - especially if - after getting rid of IMEI collector - You would contribute some actually useful code to. I'm sure that Robbie1st would happily introduce any serious code contributors mainline...
