FLASH: Giving away source

[Phillip Kerman]

Just to be argumentative....


How do you suggest a JavaScript programmer refrain from "giving away the

source".


What about a writer?  Someone compared Flash to an art (which, of course is

true).  But surely writing is an art and I'll bet you could take the source

text from "The Grapes of Wrath" and change a few words and have a story

about how everyone on the web moved to Flash then found there were no jobs

because everyone gave away the source.


My point: you're not giving anything extra away when you give the source

unless you have untrustworthy clients (and even then, you can protect

yourself legally).
