Literate programming is not mainstream since it costs a lot of time and the programmer puts all or at least most of his knowledge about the program, background, and design into a pamphlet. He basically teaches future programmers and lowers the hurdle for them to understand the program. *He makes himself more easily replacable by others.* Would you do LP if you work in industry?
The only reasonable way I see is: don't show the sources. But then you lose the ideal of LP that you want to teach...
