Shell scripts are not the right computer language to use if you need or require intellecture property (IP) protection. For this, you must use a compiled language such as C and distribute binaries.
Intellectual property protection is a cornerstone of the software industry. Under the laws of a democratic and commerce based society, people have rights to produce and freely distribute software or to develop and maintain intellectual property rights, BTW.
My advise is that you must use a compiled language, such as C, if you have IP requirements (and secure your source code).
