You're only option if you're working in Stata is to implement your  
routine (or at least the sensitive portions of it) in Mata; you can  
then distribute just the byte-compiled version without the source.   
While one could always attempt to decompile the byte-code, this would  
take serious work and almost certainly would be out of reach of your  
"client".
