Apparently, though unproven, at 20:08 on Tuesday 09 November 2010, Grant did

You are posting to a list dedicated to a Free and Open Source distro.

Folks here won't even bother with an NDA, they'll mostly just give away the 
entire code base for free.

Come on Grant, you know the ropes. What kind of response did you expect?

I'll repeat my earlier question, which you didn't answer as yet. You want to 
keep your code away from your own staff. Obviously, you do not trust your 
staff completely (for whatever reason). Why did you hire them if you can't 
trust them?

You are also abusing code modularity for a purpose it was not intended. It 
improves code quality and reduces cohesion. It does not increase obfuscation.
