Ah ha. Thanks for mentioning it. Having a 60k (or such) byte array in
C counts as source, but one could imagine that writing that structure
in some kind of readable format.

It was a big deal for some open source community people that their
packages needs to be readable to qualify as their definition of open.
But nowadays there are other kinds of VM technology getting accepted,
and it feels like it is slightly less of a problem...
