THere are plenty of ways in which scripts could be protected for 
interop. If a compnay has sufficiently storng trust agreements with LL, 
LL might be willing to share the source, for exxample. Another proposal 
(by Zero linden) is that attached scripts might by run on their own 
server, separate from teh host sim's. There are ways of encrypting 
content that make it difficult (though not impossible) to steal stuff of 
any kind. Google references to the E language and virtual world assets 
for more info.
