I'll just add that it is very easy to disassemble compiled C code (IE
executable) back into C code, because of the available tools.
However, converting Gambas bytecode into Gambas source is tedious, because
AFAIK there aren't ready tools for it.
If you need something more, you need to do source level obfuscation.
