 Your literary reference may be correct, but also keep in mind the 
 literary tradition of the fool who does wise things.  In this case, he 
 has a very useful product!  Or maybe you'd like to write some code you 
 want to keep proprietary, but you also want widespread usage.  Are you 
 going to buy one (or more) of every platform customers want to run it 
 on?  Why not give them something they can compile and link with, but not
 understand?

 Makes perfect sense to me.
