Hi,  
I am developing an application for which ROR is best suited. But  
when it comes to deployment, I am searching for an advice.  
My application is not the one which is hosted on internet and client  
make use of that. Client will have its in-house web-server on which I  
will install the application. Client will have full access of that  
server.  
Now my problem is not to share the source code of application. As i  
see I have to copy my ruby files to the we-server which can be easily  
copied and duplicate/hack the application.  
I could not find any way to distribute the ROR application in binary  
form where client can not see/duplicate the code. Also I can introduce  
licensing system into that.  
Is there any way to achieve this with ROR?

Thanks & Regards
