Talk:XULRunner

- will there be a way to hide my code (xul or javascript) from my customers? some kind of encoding? Otherwise i will not be able to use it at my work. (Tom)

- why do you need to hide your code? Normal copyright laws already protect you whether the code is available or not, and even if the original source code is not available, it's always possible to reverse engineer the code if someone really wants to get to it (it has to be possible, otherwise the computer can't run the code). -Hixie 08:02, 2 Jan 2005 (PST)

- Though copyright law does not apply if you are not caught (you cant be tried for something no-one knows you did), and as such some people would prefer there code to be "closed source", (I dont know why people who read this wiki for example wish it, but O well). -Justin Wood (Callek) 00:59, 3 Jan 2005 (PST)

- It is better to prevent code theft as much as possible than to get lost in some legal procedure. We should like to use the mozilla technology in our applications but our competitors are to close at our heels. Most of are code was Java. But if we now just show our algoritms, we are lost. We are convinced that the xul, xbl, xpcom technology has a lot of advantages, but i can't convince anybody at the team without a way to hide the code.-Tom 13:10, 4 Jan 2005 (PST)
