>> Can anyone else think of more good reasons to encrypt templates?

How about downloadable demos of applications.

There are a lot of applications out there that
you can download demos for. As an author of one
such application, the fact that an unscrupulous
individual can decrypt the demo and have their 
way with it rather than purchasing it is frustrating.

The only good things I can think of (at the moment) about encrypting
templates are to:

(1) Make sure that clients who are unware of the decrypting tools don't
inavertenly or purposely make modificatios to your code.
(2) Make sure other ColdFusion developers sitting on a shared box cannot
(easily) view your code.
(3) Make sure that a webserver cannot display code in the case of a bug such
as the reveal source bugs in Microsoft's IIS server.

Can anyone else think of more good reasons to encrypt templates?
