Fortunately, that's not entirely true. I've been using the ioncube encoder
http://www.ioncube.com to preserve the privacy of the source
code.
As far as a means of packaging the files for distribution, I use the free NSIS
installer http://nsis.sf.net to distribute my software for Windows,
and for
Macintosh I use a tar/bash script to install the encoded files (which are
actually a DOS-based .DMG script that I reference
as /Volumes/NameOfMySoftware.
I'd love to do the whole RPM thing, but I've never been asked about a Linux
version, though I do mention its possibility on my downloads page.
