Hi!
Has somebody thought of adding some sort of copy protection to a PHP
project? I guess it would be difficult to accomplish.
Say you have some PHP scripts for mantaining a web site. You don't want the
ISP simply copies the scripts for each web site he wishes to use it for but
buys a valid license for each copy.
A solution would be a license key that guarantees the scripts are being
used only on a specific web site / domain name the license has been buyed
for.
One problem is that PHP is source code, it isn't stored in compiled form,
and a copy protection could be easily located and removed I think. Ok,
there is Zend encoder but it is very expensive in my opinion.
Are there any tools, articles? Did ever have anyone this problem?
