Sure you can! It's still just characters, even if they're all 1 and 0.
Copyrighting software is an extremely common practice, especially for commercial enterprises.

Conceptually, I'd agree with you, but the operative bit (you should pardon the pun) here is whether or not any lawyer types would take exception to it. You or I or any other individual passing the code along is unlikely to draw their ire, or even their notice, but the forum may be a different matter. They do read us, and have even posted here occasionally.
