Actually, there is, but it is attached to the

To rephrase what you are asking for, you are either
asking that LV no longer be a compiled language, or
you are asking that the "binary image", be the source
code, and the runtime engine for the platform include
the compiler, like the LV editor does.
So, if you just rename a few things, like distribute
source, and put the LV editor on the machines, then
you have what you wish for.
