Hi Günther

Congratulations!

You might find this article useful. Though it only mentions one
particular system Armadillo, there are a number of good tips like
releasing updates frequently so the binaries change, and the author is
well regarded in "micro software" circles.

GHC binaries do contain quite a lot of textual information. Where
functions work with registration codes you ought to cloak their names
and maybe add a dummy API to throw crackers off the scent.

Best wishes

Stephen
