You'd have to ask an embedded systems businessman; it's not really a
Python question.  Many of the people on this list are fans of
open-source software, so making code obscure is not one of our top
priorities, and for some it's an anti-priority.  But embedded software
is much more specific to its device than general PC software is, so
even if you have the source there's not as much you can do with it.

The situation is not much different from Javascript.  You can't hide
Javascript if you want it to run on the user's computer, but that
doesn't stop companies from making money with Javascript applications.
