How to protect my php code running on a client server?

I’d like to ask how to protect my code that is running on a client server from being altered and/or copied.
It’s running on Ubuntu Server with the standard Apache Php Mysql stack.
Any software needed would preferably be open-source.

Can we create a GPL application that has a payware advertisement on it?

We’ve been thinking of using GPL components to make a GPL application, and freely give it away. We then want to use that as a loss-leader. In that free application, where even the source code is available, we plan to have an advertisement for some payware. The payware would be for functionality that is completely different than the free application. For instance, the freeware would be like a checkbook application, let’s say, but the payware would be a virus remover utility that people try out and then can pay for, and is closed-source, binary.

Source Code Only Allowed With One Open Source Project

I have an open source project that is licensed under the GNU General Public License v3 and it’s done in Windows Presentation Foundation. I came across someone that sells themes/skins for WPF projects and he is willing to donate one of the skins for use with open source project. However, he only wants the skin to be allowed to be used with my project. I was wondering what the best way would be to prevent other people from stealing the skin and using it with their projects? Is there a license that would fit this requirement? Or is there a better way to accomplish this?
