If you think most of them are not going to bother becos it''ll take em another hour you have it wrong. I''m no expert on this subject, but a few paper tigers ain''t gonna scare me. I agree with c_wraiths first post. If they do something commercial with your werk give them a slapping or whatever. you could even say you want an amount of whatever they have earnt from it . But all this legal hassle bothers my arse. Then again who would ever want my crappy code?

ah yes, I forgot to mention
that all the images will also
have embedded copyrights.

I do hope they leave me alone though
there are bigger fish to fry...

but mostly I''m happy because the project can continue
at this level of security.

Lupine,

There exists the possibility in an APPLICATION to protect the whole shebang by obsuficating all the data and then using a custom class and resource loader.

This is fine and dandy, but will only work on stand anole executables.

thanks for the note snowmoon.

wouldnt that require converting all my resources to binary (or something) and then hardcoding it in?

That would not be an option either. Having the Resources seperate is another requirement of the project.

let me know. Thx all
