Gimpel software ships FlexeLint for C/C++ as obfuscated code so you
can recompile it on your host without (easily) reverse engineer it.

Sometimes shipping a library is not practical if your customers are
using all kind of weird platforms, ABIs and compilers. That's why
almost all C++ libs ship with the source.
