That is flawed logic Chris. That is like saying why put a lock on your house if there is lock picking kits available and people that can pick your lock in 10 seconds. Because a lock on your house will prevent 99.9% of the people from breaking in. Besides if you are in the business of making web applications, especially for companies that have their own development departments, then you want to obfuscate your code to protect your intellectual property. This of course deals totally in the realm of paid for software development.
>From what I can tell on SourceGuardian once you get it setup to work like you want it on your first project, that to run it on future projects would only take 5 minutes to setup and run. So, the protection of your intellectual property from 99.9% of people and it taking only 5 minutes to do is well worth the time and investment. Also Chris when developing web applications for companies that have people that understand coding, I run into this problem all the time. You make some code where they can see the actual coding. Then, they understand enough coding to get what is going on, but not actually fully understanding it. They either make changes or try to implement new features and then start calling you when things are broken. So, protecting your app from a companies DIY coders is also important. There off the soap box for intellectual property protection and companies DIY coders hacking up your code, but still blaming you since the code originated from you. Case in point is how many people ask for help and then you find out they have modified their core CakePHP installation. They still blame Cake developers for not including what they wanted instead of trying to understand the CakePHP way to do it. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
