Possible Duplicates: How to protect your software code? Protect my PHP App Hi, I have a framework that I am wanting to be able to sell licenses for. I want people to be able to edit the code if they choose to (to a degree) but also I want to try and stop someone paying for the code and then just putting it up for download. Is there a way that I can keep part of the code ( small piece of code that is ) on a server which each site using my framework will need to connect to use? any help or ideas much appreciated. You can... But do you want to? PHP scripts are not Java servlets. They're not

When i want to distribute my program I compile it with 'Release' configuration and also I set the linker to not add debug information. So my question is, Is my executable safe or anyone can decompile it and see the source code? If it is unsafe, how can I prevent it from being decompiled? All programs can be decompiled to a degree. However, the vast bulk of the useful information in your source code is removed during compilation. The source code

I would like to protect my python source code , I know there is no absolute protection possible, but still there should be some means to make it difficult enough to do or quite time-consuming. I want 1) to remove all documentation, comments automatically and 2) to systematically change the names of variables and functions within a module (obfuscation?), so that I can keep an external interface (with meaningful names) while the internal names of variables and functions are impossible to pronounce. Perhaps the best solution, which would make 1) and 2) redundant, is the following : 3) Is there a

Is it possible to create a block of code within the CKEditor that will not be touched by the editor itself, and will be maintained in its intended-state until explicitly changed by the user?

I'm working with the following setup: <script type="text/javascript"> var editor = CKEDITOR.replace("content", { height : "500px", width : "680px", resize_maxWidth : "680px", resize_minWidth : "680px", toolbar : [ [

Perhaps the most obvious way of protecting a company's intellectual property from its own developers seems to be an NDA - Non Disclosure Agreement. Effectiveness of this approach may vary, depending on many factors, and sometimes or somewhere it may not work as expected. What other approaches, apart from this purely legal one, exist for protecting software code from the people who develop it? Do they exist at all? Does it make sense in practice? Maybe, for example, Team Edition of Visual Studio already contains some features related to this problem (for example, levels of access to parts of
