Not necessarily.
If the whole thing is designed the right way.
A copy protection I like for example are dongles. Ok, they are not
applicable to PHP and aren't 100% secure either [don't want to start a
discussion about this now]. But this system makes no problems for the
people that have the dongle.
That was why first came up with this question. As a PHP beginner I wanted
to know if there are elegant ways to make a acceptable copy protection.
There seem to be only 3 possibilities:
- zend encoder
- a code obfuscator like POBS
- encrypting the source code and then decrypting it in realtime
I do not expect any more replies ;)
