You can decompile everything. Everything can be cracked: even your 
disconnected from the network and turned off and locked in the safe computer 
box. If you do simply "Hello world" or something like that, then yes, you can 
decompile your bytecode. But if you do something better and more complicated, 
then no. E.g. I've tried to decompile few my important modules -- it always 
fails or provides a mess.

P.S. OTOH, _looking_ in the code (read-only, just looking through one eye) and 
_decompiling_ it are different stuff and there is law restrictions etc.
