I worked at a place that faced exactly that.

I initially was in the Huawei client engagement where they wanted copies of all of our source code. We said “no, nobody gets that”. They just keep asking over and over.

On one hand, that seems like a sure way to get your product copied. On the other, they’d be totally nuts to run a cybersecurity product without the source code, right?

Seems like a situation where getting the interests to align is just very difficult.

No other customers demanded source code.
