Shipping the source is utterly out of the question,
Of course, you have to be crazy if you give away your bread and
butter source for all the greedy vultures on this planet.
During my private work years ago, some of my clients want the
source [1] for 'security evaluation' or something crappy like that.
A simple 'no' as answer and moving on to the next customer resolved
that quick.
[1] - Years ago it was told to me that some z/OS vendors gave the
source code of SVC routines to satisfy their client paranoia... But
generally their statement of integrity is enough of course. Can
management read Assembler source listings?
E:
There are other vendors that ship source (at one time CA did) and not
for just their SVC's but executed programs.
In fact I debugged a source program that did not work with SWA above
the line.
I don't know of any current vendor off the top of my head that does
ship source but then they don't try to do what John is trying to do
either .
