Protecting the code

rubyonrails-talk

We are just starting a new project and it is going to be a commercial application. So we have a reasonable question now - how can we protect our code? I have searched the web but found nothing really useful. Can anyone suggest any solutions or ideas about code protection for Ruby/Rails?

Thanks

I'm actually interested with this as well. I'm thinking of something like how the Javascript packers work, if that is possible.

Thanks for the thread. I'm more inclined to go with your solution (www.rubyencoder.com), but I couldn't try it out yet since my dev machine is running on Windows. I'll probably try later when I get a Nix machine up, or atleast a VM.
