Is there a way to encrypt Rails code so that the user cannot mess up the written code?
What I really want to do is distribute the LAN-only REST web server application that will be installed on the client computer. I do not want them to copy my work and distribute it without knowing it.
I already read this:
Protecting / Obfuscating Ruby on Rails Source Code
And people suggested using http://rubyencoder.com/
Is there an open source alternative? Does it even work? Is it possible to pack a Rails application with JRuby into a jar file or something else? Any suggestions to block third-party access are appreciated.
