I can think of 3 reasons to prevent tampering:

- You need money and want to sell your software on a "per seat" basis.

- You don't want customers to fiddle with your code and then innocently
   call for support and demand "bug fixes" for free.

- Your customer demands closed source because the code contains trade
   secrets.

Protecting source has nothing to do with innovation. It's about making
money.
