How to protect web applications source code?

[Enrico Maria Giordano]

Scenario: I wrote a script web application and I'd want to sell it. Obviously I can't compile it to an EXE so how to protect my script source code?

Any ideas?

Enrico,

Which language did you use to create this web application?

I used ASP/VBScript so far. In the future, I don't know.

Hello Enrico,
I will remeber a product called VBScript Obfuscator.
But it was 2004 when I last made a programs in asp.
Best regards,
