Obscufication/Licensing of a LUA script Tweet

[MB]

I would like to temporarily share a valuable LUA script with a hardware vendor at a trade show so they can show Octane running on their gear, but obviously don't want it to get out into the wild.

Is there anything I can do to protect it?

thx

Something like that perhaps?

Just adding to what Juanjo has proposed that you may also implement the most sensitive parts as a DLL and access them via the Lua FFI interface:

(Note that Octane uses vanilla Lua instead of LuaJit, I'm adding this link just with the purpose of illustrating how to use it).

Thank you both!
