uhm. open source. you can protect it against the dumbest, but other
than that... make some vital features of it dependend on a server that
operates only when it receives a unique serial (md5sum) in the
request, which you can check againsta a database of expiration
dates...
obfuscation/encryption may also work, but that's crackable. or you
provide a vital part as executable that you system() from the
script...
