It would be easy to just twickle around with Data.fs and use "python zpasswd.py -u newuser -p newpasswd" on a fresh zope installation and take the "protected" Data.fs to get access into the source code. Or, I am missing something ? How can code be protected in Zope, at least to the same (relative) level of a compiled object code? This has been a discussion going in our company with some customers as to how to protect developed code... Comments are welcome.
Do not confuse 'proprietary' or 'closed source' with 'protected'. One could develop code people can see, but has a non-open source license. I can think of a few proprietary PHp and Perl products. Yes, you can see the code, but legally, you are bound by license to not suck the code out for your own version. Bill
