It makes big difference (legally) to if the codes are there and someone 
sees it, to if the codes are locked in some packaged or zipped form and 
someone reverse-engineer it. It is legally as different as if you drop 
money on the ground and I pick it up, to pick-pocketing you and take the 
money.

Nobody seems to be able to understand this simple logic.

Yes, Java class files can be reverse-engineered quite easily but the act 
of doing that is criminal, unless performed under specified Council 
Directives (in EU) or under any statutory law in specific countries. But 
the act of looking at the codes if it is there is not criminal, just 
like reading a book in bookstore. If anyone can program in binary today, 
no codes will be safe with them anyway...
