Obusfucation?? << Cant spell ;D

Are you allowed to obsfucate plugins?

 

It's "obfuscation".

If it prevents us from doing our work, the file will be rejected. If it doesn't, the obfuscation is useless anyway.

Yes, you are allowed to but it doesn't make sense. Besides that, the community welcomes openness.

 

Unless you're trying to make money off your plugin, there is no point.

 

If the plugin is for yourself, you're allowed to, it's your code, think twice if releasing

 

Why would you obfuscate it anyway?

 

You could always using the "All Rights Reserved" license. *snickers a little bit*

 

Technically because Bukkit is GNU GPL, all plugins made with it have to follow suit.

 

There also is a paragraph about how we handle obfuscated code in the official Submission Guidelines and that it's actually not good for authors who like their files to be approved as soon as possible: http://wiki.bukkit.org/BukkitDev:Project_Submission_Guidelines#Obfuscation
