[Zope] Protecting Zope solution / application -> deploying solutions to customers

[Ausum Studio]

...then how to make it the hardest? :)

This is an interesting issue, not only from the intellectual property point
of view, but also as a mean to reduce the risks of broken code caused by
non-malicious site administrators or authorized users (mainly by lack of
knowledge). My reasoning: The hardest is for thirds to perform a change to
my released app, the less are the chances that I need to run to fix stuff
(thus the greater my time to do new things).
