 Mapbuilder uses Javascript and XSL which are interpreted languages.  I.e.  They are cannot be distributed as a binary.  However, we do distribute a compressed version of Mapbuilder which removes all white space and comments (including license comments).  We believe this is not an issue since we also distribute the source with license information in the comments.
