Although it is not "secure," I have thought about a way to make it difficult, 
at least, for others to understand your code.

Using a text editor, use search and replace to change the 'words so that they 
are hard to understand when you read them. For example, change...

news-server: input
open-server: reform [rejoin ["np: open news://" news-server]]
do open-server

to...

Xz8hUjKLmhT89||hg~: input
Yn876asdfGXzeyg|adlfj: reform [rejoin ["POxj724xcUYxq|x|y|q7: open news://" 
Xz8hUjKLmhT89||hg~]]
do Yn876asdfGXzeyg|adlfj

Of course, keep a copy of the "readable" code for yourself, but distribute 
the gobbledygook to everyone else.

Hey, maybe someone could write up a code-replacement script for this? Then 
run the script on the script itself. Hmm...
