Uh, discussion philosophically interesting, but realistically useless.
dwg has become an open file format (opendwg before and dwgdirect after they manage it in all conditions, in a very legal manner).
You should protect the software, not its product.
what is it to mark a file infamy when you open it with any cadfree (from draftsight to nanocad) and clean it well?
the watermark remains only if the file remains in the adesk supply chain. You couldn't get out of the chain. today the dwg is open/saved by an infinity of programs.
so maybe you get a file saved by allplan, rather than archicad and the effect you have is equal to that coming from an educational pass for nanocad.
or worse, you pass through the hands a file coming from a slender version of acad, which is more immaculate than that of the edu version whitened with pearl.. .
This is unfortunately the other side of the medal of "fidelization" operated by adesk over the years.
