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.
R is an open source project, so providing ways for you to do this is not
one of our goals.
If I were your client I would have asked for the source code for
whatever you're doing; if your client isn't savvy enough to do that, you
should provide it and explain why it is useful, and what your client is
and isn't allowed to do with it.
If you think your client will steal from you, then you should find
another client.

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
