I am curious if the whole PHP product should be open if it is deployed to another website. Since the PHP code is executed by interpretation, if I have a PHP product to deploy on a different host, there seems to be no reason to prevent others from viewing the source code.
So, the PHP product is intended for open source, right?
To be more precise, suppose I am creating a PHP blog system. I would like to sell this product to some hosting company. Is it true that I cannot stop them from viewing my source code if they buy it?
