</div>Gimpel software ships FlexeLint for C/C++ as obfuscated code so you<br>
can recompile it on your host without (easily) reverse engineer it.<br>
<br>
Sometimes shipping a library is not practical if your customers are<br>
using all kind of weird platforms, ABIs and compilers. That's why<br>
almost all C++ libs ship with the source.<br>
