I'm not sure I agree that nobody here's code is worth the trouble. The apps my company sell took >$3,000,000 to develop. Competitors can either spend that sort of $ to try to replicate ouw work, or they can pay $500 to decompile my VFP apps and enjoy the fruits of my labour.

Seems clear to me. VFP decompilation is too easy. VFP is not so special that of all development communities, only we are dumb enough as to require the ability to reconstitute source code because we might lose it.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
