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.

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 ? Marcus Frankfurt, Germany 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: http://storebox.manupool.com -- 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: http://storebox.manupool.com/cgi-bin/biographical.cgi What we have so far: We alreday have an in-world vendorsystem with a currency/credit feature: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzZGLA1E9xQ
