Require the program to be installed as root and installation to be in a read-only directory--or serve the resources to your program from a cgi script somewhere, only to be downloaded when needed. This way, the user would at least have to reverse engineer your program to see where the resources were coming from so they could plug the appropriate query in their web browser.
