Oh yes, but Java can be crypted... I mean not crypted, there is another term for that kind of code manipulation for not allowing others to get it.
I think I understand why the guys from ActiveState don't answer these questions. The source code is protected only by hiding it, so if a bad guy finds out more about how they protect it, he can unprotect many programs and then the value of this protection system is zero. However, I would be very happy if I could at least rename the .dll files which are created.... but thinking better, a good cracker could find what programming language is used...
