Hi All,
I need to give my R code to my client to use. I would like to protect the
logic/algorithms that have been coded in R. This means that I would not
like anyone to be able to read the code.
I am searching for ways to protect R code. I would like to create a .exe
kind of file which could be executed without using R or requiring to
install R. I would not like the R code to be loaded in R. This is so
because, after R loads a function, if you type the function name on the
command prompt, you can see the complete code. I would not like to give
this type of access to the R code.
I explored the option of creating .bat file (using command: R CMD BAT) and
byte code (using command: compile). These are not useful since they open
R, load these functions and then the R code is visible.
Is there any other way to protect the R code which would help me package
all my files/source files and give me an executable file which would be
run without opening R? Another problem is that R is freely downloadable.
Is it somehow possible to protect the code from being loaded in R and
being seen.
Thanks
