You can protect them by using some php encoder (ioncube, zend etc.)

I like to work with Ioncube cause they have an Online-Encoder too.
So you don't need to buy the programm.

For both are testversions available, so you can try it yourself.

My experience is, that the most hosting providers have zend enabled.
And if you are on shared hosting and you can not use your own "php.ini" ioncube can not be used.

All the modules that I know and sell do not use any encryption, it's keeping within the open source of prestashop, and lets customers make any changes they want to the module.

You do run the risk of people abusing it, but I feel that encrypting the code will hinder and restrict it too much.

Hi!

It is an old topic, but relevant. I (as a developer) encoded my module by ionCube, Prestashop stop working and shows the error "eval () 'd code is corrupted" (Prestashop 1.3.1) and error "mymodule (parse error in /modules/mymodule/mymodule.php), mymodule(class missing in /modules/mymodule/mymodule.php)" (Prestashop 1.6.1). How can I get out of the situation?

Thanks in advance!
