If somebody gets to open the image and loads it with an Smalltalk Emulator to execute it I'll ask him/her to start working together, and even teach me how to do it.
I don't want to shield the image from being accessed, just want to make it harder than simply removing the '--headless' parameter to the VM executable. Of course removing sources is a plus (I do for a VW deployed image), but even for this particular piece of software that I'm asking for, I don't need it. If I wanted to make the source public, I'll publish it in Github/Gitlab, otherwise I'd rather keep the code private. Regards, Esteban A.
