Can a Plugin run off a Module Script? [Unanswered]
So I know that it is possible to steal code from a plugin. Which is why I am wondering if it is possible to have a loader inside the plugin connect to the MainModule which manages the plugin. Yes I am also aware it is possible to steal a Module but the Wiki does say how to defend from that.

You're not going to be able to protect Lua code that runs in Studio, period. BlueTaslem 18071 — 8y

It can be protected if it's requesting a module if that's even possible for a plugin. Crimson_Foxx 60 — 8y

Yes.
But not how you want.
The truth is simple. If it's on a Plugin, it's on the person's computer. If it's on their computer, they can steal your code if they're determined enough - No matter how much effort you put into making sure that they can't.
If you don't want people to steal your plugin, make it open-source. Nobody steals open-source code.

That is not what I meant I mean can a plugin connect to a Module in my inventory as a model that is not in the plugin. Crimson_Foxx 60 — 8y

Yes, if the module is yours. If somebody else uses the Plugin, they will not be able to require in the module which it depends on. User#6546 35 — 8y

This assumes that the module in question is copylocked. If it is uncopylocked, it will be able to require it in regardless. User#6546 35 — 8y
