I am developing an extension for my company, and they are not overjoyed with the fact that the code, since it's all in JavaScript, would be readable by anyone. Is there any way to make the source code less open? How are the people that sell their extensions commercially able to do this? Or are they just hoping that the code is not stolen?
Thanks for any info.
Source Code Encryption?

The only thing you could do would be to obfuscate it, but this isn't really useful because if someone is determined to see your code, that's easy to get around.
The source isn't that special anyway. Even if you could "close source" your program, what's to stop someone from just copying it to a dozen computers?
