I'll Chime in on this since.. I could call myself a professional component developer.
I had the same worries about source and intellectual property (2 years ago). What I have found in the real component market, developers will buy your component without code IF you have a site and support backing up your claim of a purely 'encapsulated' API. Now what I have learned; Mind you I have been developing components since Flash 5 :) - Source code IS love but, they are going to pay a lot more for it. I'm talking about my frameworks coming up that are definite jewels for the professional/enterprise flex developer. I will have to options SWC or SWC/with source. You can't stop people from riping off your stuff. There are ticks and leaches in the REAL world as well. The trick, is to be the leader and innovator. I have survived 2 years without selling source. I have created a brand new framework that I am very proud of, documented great and I will be selling my components with source. Anyway, ramble but... you will always get decompiled and don't kid yourself.
