Protecting Source Code

Hi all.

I came across a situation where I wanted to distribute my C# project
to a few parties but did not want them to edit the code/copy the code.
The only thing they should be able to do is view the code & learn from
it.

Do you guys know of any solution to source code protection that will
give me this level of features?

So far everything i've seen has to do with obfuscation etc that deals
with having a executable & preventing reverse engineering of it.
Thanks for your help guys.

Since they can always copy and paste the code, or even retype it if
they felt so inclined, a license agreement would seem to be the only
feasible solution.
