Hi all

Is there any solution to protect your rights or ideas when you write
code ?

I am thinking of a way to sign the code, to prove that I am the
author. My first tought was to use digital signature for this. Let's
say I have my own company and I buy a digital cetificate from
VerySign.
Then I  can use tis certificate to PGP sign the code and to prove that
at a specific date back in time I was the programmer or at least I had
the code in my possesion.

Any other sugestion in this respect would be much appreciated

Thank you
