Hello,

No, they are not equal. Public Not Creatable means that the class interface
is visible to the clients, but the clients cannot instantiate the class.
It's rather like a regular class with a private constructor in C#.
Speaking of factories, you can either make them fully static, or you can
implement the Singleton pattern - in which case there will be only one
static property returning the sole instance of the class, but the rest of
properties and methods will be non-static.
