ABSTRACT:
A method for protecting computer code copyrights by encoding the code into a data resource with a digital watermark. The digital watermark contains licensing information interwoven with essential code resources encoded into data resources. The result is that while an application program can be copied in an uninhibited manner, only the licensed user having the license code can access essential code resources to operate the program and any descendant copies bear the required license code.
