Yes, it's pretty much the purpose of the encoder to prevent just what
you are trying to do. I believe that forcing closed-source on an
interpreted language is the wrong idea right from the start - but that
doesn't make it any less effective. If this is a packaged product, it
probably makes a thorough job of it, not merely using weird obfuscation
methods.
