[mcr]

Hello,
Is source code for 280Slides.com or similar app available in
public domain?

thanks

The 280 Slides source code is not open source, and is not available
for use outside 280 North.

Yet, really, no javascript source code is truly safe, IMO. If you know
your way around compiled Cappuccino code, it shouldn't be that hard to
decompile back into the original code.

Of course. But that doesn't mean the code isn't protected by
copyright. A friend of mine wrote this today:

We all understand that it's way easier to reverse engineer an
interpreted app than a compiled app. My advice here would be to not
care about it on a technical level, but protect it through the law.
It's easy to spend hours trying to obfuscate your code, but there is
no way you can protect it from some smart evil dude that has his mind
set on getting it. Instead, spend those hours studying what can be
done legally if this happens, and make sure that you can act. To this
day we have had no problems with this at all, but we sure know what to
do when it happens.

Pretty applicable I think.
