So there is no way of releasing a close-source application written in 
Python?

Forget about reverse engineering or decompiling, things like EU Council 
Directive, Berne Convention , and legislation of individual countries 
are to be used and argued for handling what decompilation is allowed or 
not allowed. It does make a difference between  looking at the codes 
when it is given and performing an act of decompilation to look at the 
codes. As mentioned in one of my postings, it may be analogous to the 
difference between you dropping some cash on the ground and I take it, 
and I performing the act of pickpocketing and take your money.

I am not advocating close source in any sense and I believe the choice 
of open or close source distribution is individual's and corporate's rights.
