Define what "protection" means to you, specifically.

There are copyright laws to protect those who would steal your
code and use it as their own.

There are contract laws and licenses, to protect against 
customers who will use your program in ways you don't wish
to permit.

What else do you need?  Do you really believe that your source
code is so incredibly sophisticated that nobody else could 
ever come up with the same algorithms?  If so, you're wrong.
