Zope is much more than a webserver. It's a web application server
including a fast object database (ACID, support clustering and MVCC), a
powerful plugin architecture, builtin security and many, many more.

Read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zope

Plone and Archetypes (based on Zope) have a tool named ArchGenXML. It
takes UML XMI files and generates content types, workflows and products
for the Plone CMS.

Source code encryption can't stop people from reading or stealing your
code. Microsoft tries it, Apple tries it and even the RIAA tries it.
None of them had success in the past. :]

A proper service contract is more important.
