Yeah, when I worked at Malwarebytes we did not really care about this issue. If people are doing to download it they are going to reverse engineer it.

We also did third party security audits on a regular basis, but still wouldn't be comfortable allowing that to be done with other countries. Purely my own opinion here, but my concern wouldn't be a security one so much as an intellectual property one- it's pretty well known that other governments (China, Russia) have strong links to their commercial sectors and little regard for IP protection.
