Even this will do little to protect your intellectual property. Even languages like Java that, by design, compile into intermediate byte code can be trivially decompiled back into surprisingly readable source code. Languages that compile directly into native machine code like C and variants can provide better protection, but even that won't stop someone motivated to crack your code. Executable code in any form cannot be made completely safe: http://boomerang.sourceforge.net/cando.php?hidemenu -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
