There's some long answers to this; but the short answer is very simple: No.

It is impossible by definition - obfuscation is the best you can manage; but at 
some point the region will need to execute the code - which is the point where 
someone will be able to grab & if necessary decompile.

Subject: [Opensim-users] Protecting Script Source in .oar files

Hi everyone,

this is my first posting to this list and I would like to introduce myself with 
a few words.

I am a content creator for Second Life Technology and I have been testing 
OpenSimulator for a while now. I joined 'Second Life' 2006 and became a virtual 
watches designer by taking free classes in SL. I met my GF in SL and she moved 
from Houston/Texas to Germany, where we now live together.
We both are also SL Solution Provider.

Friends and I started a Product development Community in SL and one of our 
first developments was a multiple Choice Quiz System for SL Technology.
I am convinced of OpenSimulator because of the possibility of .oar and .iar 
files which are such an amazing advantage, compared to what, lets say "closed 
proprietary grids" offer.

To come to an end and the question I would like to have answered:

Is there a reliable way to protect the source of a script in a .oar file ?

p.s. I am currently looking for an additional team member, a perl developer, 
who would be responsible to further develop the community shop features:

The "Marble Isle Quiz System" was nominated for the European Innovative Games 
Award 2009 in the category 'Advancement Prize' Innovative Application Methods & 
Environments, which is an encouraging recognition for a SL/OpenSimulator 
application.

Our Team so far:

We alreday have an in-world vendorsystem with a currency/credit feature:
