they should not have to do something illegal. What do you
think?
I know there are php obfuscators but my code is under daily

a small change to it.
I would not use obfuscators, since you have to protect certain
variables (e.g. query string variables) against being obfuscated,
which is headache. Also as you correctly stated, you have to
obfuscate all the files.
Instead, use php encoders which encode files individually. That way,
if you make a change to one file, you can just upload it, knowing that
all your other files are encoded, and there is only a small risk.
Look into Zend small biz program, or mmcache (free), or ionsphere.
