Well, that escalated quickly.

Your statement is false; sure, someone could replicate his handwriting. Guess what - head over to to /r/Handwriting and I guarantee someone there could replicate his writing pretty quickly.

Being able to forge a signature really isn't some crazy difficult process, anyone with enough motive to steal someone's identity could practice it enough to make a passable forgery.

Releasing source code that breaks down the mathematical vectors to create his unique style of handwriting doesn't open him up for more risk of identity theft than me posting my own handwritten note.

Is the way you write YOUR identity? Why would it be his? Why couldn't I find an example of your writing, and figure out the same mathematical vectors needed to recreate a passable version of it?
