Forums Scripts & Popups An odd question about locking a file or alias?

This is going to be a bit of a weird question but is there any particular way of locking an alias or file in mIRC so that no one else can edit it? I know due to the open nature of mIRC scripts it's probably unlikely but I just thought I'd ask here just in case someone knows of a way.

I'm having a very serious issue of someone stealing my scripts and going around the internet claiming to be the original author of them. The person who steals them knows just enough of the mIRC scripting language to go in and remove all credit lines. Ordinarily this probably wouldn't even really bother me much but some of these scripts I have been working on for over five years and with multiple people. It isn't really fair to anyone that this guy is doing this.

It's become such a bad problem that I'm getting messaged on social media and via email about it (people trying to clarify who wrote the scripts, just letting me know that there's someone claiming to have written it, etc). Plus the guy is a bit of a jerk and treats people pretty poorly from what I understand.

I feel like I either have two options: live with it and the annoyances that come with it or try to figure out a way to make it so the credits are locked and no one can edit them. Any suggestions for the latter?
