You'd have to ask an embedded systems businessman; it's not really a Python question. Many of the people on this list are fans of open-source software, so making code obscure is not one of our top priorities, and for some it's an anti-priority. But embedded software is much more specific to its device than general PC software is, so even if you have the source there's not as much you can do with it. The situation is not much different from Javascript. You can't hide Javascript if you want it to run on the user's computer, but that doesn't stop companies from making money with Javascript applications. -- Mike Orr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
