Locked? As in with a padlock? I could see source code being erased and just compiled binaries left but those can be decompiled. There is no way to "lock" code, just ask Sony, Nintendo or any other publisher...
"Read-only" meaning cannot be changed... as in its encoded on punch cards and making new punch cards is too hard cause we lost the technology? Do you work for Nasa?
