How do I protect Python code from being read by users?
I am developing a piece of software in Python that will be distributed to my employer’s customers. My employer wants to limit the usage of the software with a time-restricted license file.

I have what is likely a very simple question about making changes to a WordPress plugin. I apologize for the simplicity of my question, as I am very new to working with code that may be open-source and new to plugin development.
Am I allowed to remove the “Powered by WordPress” link in the footer?
To put it like this:
I was interested in the recent conversation about whether WordPress themes need to be licenced under the GPL or whether they can be closed source. The video can be reached from matts blog and my favourite discussion about it is Dave Winers blog post.
They say WordPress is GPL, and therefore all plugins and themes made with it are supposed to be GPL. Fine, but if I spent three months coding an extremely complex app theme with the intent on selling it repeatedly for profit, such as a medical office scheduling system theme, then how can I protect my investment, if even a moderate amount?
