CONDENSE makes REXX source impossible to read with the naked eye. This is true for both CEXEC and load module formats, as otherwise the source would be visible regardless of which format was used. If someone wanted to go to the trouble of extracting source from a compiled/condensed REXX executable, I guess it would be possible. However, source can be extracted from regular load modules even more easily than extracting it from REXX, so I think compiled/condensed REXX still offers a very good way to protect intellectual property.
